Hi@maye,
My mother in law had night sweats and a sore jaw making it difficult to chew. I never did.
First time around, I had an itchy torso, three episodes of visual disturbance, I couldn't see anything out of my right eye, tender scalp, and short stabbing pains from my ear to my nose. Second time, extreme pain and pressure in my head and neck, somehat tender scalp. Both times I loss appetite, and felt faint in the morning when I woke up, I didn't connect the dots until I started feeling faint in the mornings. Second time around I thought I was just having aches and pains. I asked for a CRP test, because of feeling faint, and it was elevated.

Ah I see @tsc (pardon the pun)
I’ve not had any cranial symptoms.
Mine is pmr/ large vessel vasculitis.
However I’m alert to anything that could be temporal / cranial.
So far so good.
Still in remission , blood results normal ( except for expected neutrophils and liver enzymes because of Actemera ) , no symptoms or impediments affecting my usual lifestyle.
Just a lot of medical surveillance follow ups .
