Thank you. I'll reach out to my neurologist's office and see if they can order the TDUS. GCA sounds scary/serious. Is it common in younger adults? I'm 37. Treatable? I try to stay off Google because everything is cancer or an aneurysm. It's the strangest sensation - initially very sensitive to touch, but the pain steadily subsides until it's gone. This happens every time until I leave that area alone then do it again, and the same thing happens - initial shock/sensitive reaction, and I can almost slowly rub out the pain if that makes any sense. It's been this way for 7 months without getting any better or any worse.
I attached a comment I read on a Neurology forum that was the best description I've found from anyone else, as well as a diagram with red areas that indicate where the sensitivity is. I never have migraines, intense, sharp pain or any vision issues.
