I got the CT Scan results back today and luckily there is no sign of anything wrong on that area. I have been referred to a RA Specialist since certain areas of my blood work are marginal and my Sed Rate is 29....I still experience pain in the left temple but not as severe as last week when I self-admitted myself to the ER. I am going to the RA Specialist on May 10th and will post what transpires after that meeting.

Tinkerbell...very interesting. When I had my brain checked for bleeding after my fall, he looked into my eyes. I have his card. He said I CD call him for appt. I am going to call him. Above left eye I have a large bump from my fall. I passed out. I want to know why it does not go away and my headaches are horrible.
At least it is worth a visit to get input from another doctor. You really do have to be your own advocate now days. I hope some doctor can help you.

Hi - I am not surprised that the CT scan was normal. Mine did not show anything. You might want to think about seeing your eye doctor. The Neurologist really checked my eyes out in the Emergency Room. I saw my optometrist after I was diagnosed and she was very knowledgeable about Giant Cell Arteritis and knew a lot about the disease. Maybe you could get in before seeing the RA Specialist. Where do you live? I am in Orlando, FL.
