@kjoed53 You need to call your doctors, Rheumy and Ophtha and let them decide it is OK to wait a week or two. This can be very serious and you can lose your vision if not found and treated. I emphasize "can be" - it may not be but your vision is not something you want to put off checking on. My Ophtha gave me her personal cell phone number once she knew I had PMR. She said call her any time, day or night. I have had it for five years, never used, but I would if I needed to. She said GCA is one of the very few Ophthalmological emergencies and I believe her.

Thanks for the advice. I just got my latest blood work back this morning so I will be talking to my rheumatologist about that later. I should also mention that my rheumatologist considers my PMR diagnosis as tentative until he finishes ruling out other possibilities, and my regular ophthalmologist left the practice so I'm seeing a different one.
