Hi This is Artron9. Thank you for responding. I am very concerned about my eyes and I am having the blood tests as well as the eye exams. My biggest problem are the headaches which are always present. I did up thePrednisone to 12 mgtoday and it has helped a lot. The headaches are non existant. mLets see what tomorrow brings?
Thank you for your concern! Ron

Ron, I have GCA and got diagnosed with it when I started losing my vision in one eye temporarily. I got treatment in time to save my vision. My understanding is that losing vision is very rare for people who have been treated for GCA.
