Welcome @rjchaz, Thank you for sharing your experience and the importance of being aware of this terrible condition. Were you also diagnosed with Giant Cell Arteritis (GCA) along with your PMR?

Yes! I was diagnosed with GCA. My rheumatologist wanted to do a TEMPORAL ARTERITIS test but my GP didn’t think it was needed. I have learned that if a specialist recommends something I will probably go with their suggestion. Bobbie PS. If I had had the test I’m sure I would have been put on heavy doses of prednisone. When I lost my sight, I was immediately put on 80 mg of prednisone.
