Hello & thank you for your response, I currently live in Ontario Canada, If there was a Mayo clinic here I would have been there long ago LOL
I have saved these 2 links you have provided & will sit down later when I have more time & give this resource a good read.
I am in limbo At the moment as I am waiting for test results & further submissions for further investigation as to what's causing these issues & I have to state I never had these issues prior to the pandemic & the one shot of phizer vaccine for which no doctor wants to address, I have had much problem getting any specialist or Doctor to listen to my experiences since then. Even the immunologist was acting odd to me when I explained the issues stems from the vaccine I took. He more or less rushed me out of his office & stated there was nothing he could do for me & its been this way with medical professionals since I had the vaccine, its like no one will talk to me & they have all acted very odd with me when I try to discuss this.
Thanks so much for your response & resources to help me further.

I'm wondering if some of the severe headaches you mentioned could be an indication of Giant Cell Arteritis (GCA). When my PMR was active my doctor and rheumatologist were always asking me if I had headaches, tender scalp or any pain in the temples or jaw areas. You might want to read through the following article to see if anything sounds similar.

@tsc has some experience with GCA and may also have some thoughts.
