Hi @jabrown0407, I had PMR, undiagnosed, a number of months before being diagnosed with GCA. With PMR, I had pain and stiffness (a 10 on a scale of 1-10) from the neck down. After about 9 months, that gave way to an incredibly stiff neck, with pain as if lines were drawn on either side of my head from the neck up to the ears. Also, short stabbing pains from the ear to the nose, they were fleeting, but they increased in number. A few days before my temporal artery biopsy I counted 25 pains. I had scalp tenderness that lasted a couple of weeks, then disappeared, difficulty seeing out of my right eye a couple of times (everything was white) and a dry cough every night, The eye problems are nothing to mess with. Since having them, I've been advised to get to an emergency room immediately if they ever recur. I wish you the best
