Thank you for sharing. She has an appt. This week with her rheumatologist and I will shall this with the MD. I am surprised that the MD didn’t order a scan for GCM as she was told my wife had a really bad headache a few weeks ago before the extreme painful
Symptoms of the PMR.
I’m also surprised she didn’t refer to a neurologist or ophthalmologist.
This is very new and really don’t know much at all, but we’re very nervous as you may know.
Thank you replying, we know more today thanks to you.
I’m not sure how I could keep you posted but thank you very much
And glad to hear you’re dealing with it well.
