@tsc, @jabrown0407 . Great advice, Teri, to get right to Emergency if eye issues present! I permanently lost most of the vision in my right eye when GCA was 'suspected' in March 2019 but not treated until emergency hospital admission in June 2019, when that vision loss suddenly happened at home one morning.

I was fortunate @artist01 in that the loss of vision was short and only happened twice. If it happened again, I would have gotten an appointment with the optometrist, but I never would have thought to go to the Emergency Room. When GCA was suspected, were you prescribed prednisone?
