I was diagnosed with PMR and possible GCA, July 2024. My GCA symptoms were headaches that were over my eyebrows and radiated across my temples, over and behind my ears. Sometimes, they'd just be over the temple. Sometimes, behind my ears. I never noticed bulging temporal arteries. I had a bilateral temporal artery biopsy, within 8 days of starting 60 mg. of prednisone. The biopsy report was 'negative', but it also stated that that didn't mean I didn't have GCA. The doctor may not have gotten a sample of the affected artery. Don't ignore your symptoms.
