Hi @megz you mentioned pain in areas, head, neck and ears that could indicate your PMR has progressed to GCA. Does your scalp feel tender at all?
I've just had a GCA relapse and my pain was concentrated in the neck, head and around the ears. If you experience any visual disturbances, don't hesitate to go to Emergency.
Hopefully, it's PMR.

Thanks for the concern, Teri. I've never had pain near ears or on my head. I do keep an eye out for things which could be Giant Cell Arteritis. Sorry to hear you've had a recurrence of GCA. A lot of people might not be aware of the symptoms, so thank you for the reminder.
