Hello @alicoo, Welcome to Connect. I have no experience with GCA but when my PMR was active, my rheumatologist was always concerned and wanted to know if I had facial pain, headaches or vision problems during my treatment. If you haven't already discussed your questions with your primary care doctor or rheumatologist, I would contact them as soon as possible.

I'm tagging members @alandy233, @tsc, @jeff97, and @susang222 who have experience with Giant Cell Arteritis and may have some suggestions to share with you. Have you talked with your rheumatologist or doctor yet about your questions?

@johnbishop Thank you. Yes, I have messaged my rheumatologist but have not yet heard back. If I don't hear back today I will also message my primary care doctor, who is usually more responsive than my rheumatologist.
