I'm not a doctor but I think anytime you have PMR/GCA and you have something happening with your vision or eyesight you need to contact your rheumatologist or doctor immediately. It's nothing to play around with as you can lose your vision totally. Here's more information - https://www.aafp.org/pubs/afp/issues/2006/1101/p1557.html.

Thank you for your reply, @johnbishop. I agree about staying on top of my situation and I am monitoring things with my PCP and my Ophthalmologist. I'm just curious about the actual chances of developing a stroke, heart attack or even blindness and I would like hear from people who have experienced these events. My sympathies are with all of you experiencing this insidious disorder! It ain't fun!
