Just checking in to say that I have GCA and have had 2 strokes, an eschemic heart attack, DVE, TIA's, Diabetes 2 due to massive I.V. Prednisone at first bc GCA caused blindness in right eye and had to protect vision in other eye), a blood clot in left leg, and, and...lol
I feel certain all of this is a result of GCA. (I refuse to identify it as "my" GCA). What a wreck, huh? lol
But don't be scared - I'm 86. It all began at age 83.
