Hi @dbrown400 welcome to Connect. That must be frustrating to have this happen to your wife.

I'd like to share this article about the side effects of Imdur: https://www.webmd.com/drugs/2/drug-2552/imdur-oral/details

I'd also like to tag fellow Connect members @crhp194 and @tinkerbell may be able to offer you support as your wife works to life with this new diagnosis.

Back to you @dbrown400 how are your wife's side effects now? Also, what was the reason for being prescribed Imdur?

Alas I am unable to help as I take methotrexate for Giant Cell Arteritis. It is an anti- inflammatory drug. I have taken this since August of 2016 and have had little to no side effects. Carol

Sorry about the delay in posting an update... all issues have cleared after long period of 60mg of prednisone daily. Mass General and local RA specialists have determined that this was not Temporal Arteritis. She titrated off of the prednisone and symptoms have not returned.
