Yes I have told them about the headaches but they don't seem concerned. Las Vegas has a terrible medical group here as almost anyone can get a license. I am stopping all meds that I see are not mandatory to see if I can narrow it down.

Be careful if you're planning to stop prednisone or Actemra. Stopping prednisone without tapering could make you really sick or kill you from adrenal issue, and stopping either prednisone or Actemra could cause a GCA flare or make the flare worse.
If you have any other symptoms of GCA such as fever, fatigue in your jaw muscles when chewing food, night sweats, or tender areas on your scalp or around your ears, I would try to get a second opinion from another doctor. If you have any vision problems, go to the emergency room.
