No ... I think my doctors got it right and I never believed I had GCA. My doctors always ask me about symptoms of GCA even now. I think they were very vigilant and certain that I didn't have GCA.

One time my rheumatologist refused to see me when I showed up at my appointment with a red eye and foggy vision. She asked me if I knew how serious it could be. She called the ophthalmology department herself and said I needed to go there first.

My ophthalmologist was the first person I told about electrical headaches around my eye. He said it wasn't an eye problem and referred me to a neurologist.

I’m glad to hear that. That must have been such a tough time. Those electrical headaches sound awful. My husband said the headaches he had were not like others he’d ever had.
