He agreed that I should be checkout for GCA and I will be possibly going to opthamologist for biopsy. It believe it's my ears though; he would rather find out it's nothing than wait and find out it's something. His words and I agree. Also, he's trying to expedite my referral to the rheumatologist. My doctor right now is a neurologist. My family doctor has retired. He's very thorough and I like him a lot. Thanks John.

@milld835 Since it's four years later, you may not be following this site any more. But if you come upon this, I'd love to hear how things worked out for you. I'm new to the game.
GCA scares me. I've been feeling pressure in my ears since being diagnosed with PMR. I've been chalking it up to the Prednisone thinking that may be making me clench more than I realize.

It sounds like your doctor is a "keeper". I've had a few like that over the years but still think of the days growing up when we had a family doctor that would make house calls. I think doctors now days are so busy and time constrained that it is hard for them to spend the extra time to get to know patients and actually listen so when you have a really good one it is extra special.
