Waiting for my biopsy result done this past Thursday. Also was referred to ophthalmologist, had a good baseline exam. When the head pain first came on I thought it was just a really bad flare up, GCA not even on the radar. The eye doctor said had my doc not given me a steroid injection that day I would have lost vision. Still on 60mg prednisone, waiting for results before weaning, no pain at all at present.

I have a temporal biopsy this week. Wondering if any of your symptoms were as mine: gushy pounding in ears; very blurred vision in one eye; the feeling when I go to take a step as though someone has just knocked me from behind; knock things over when reaching for something. Dizzy, foggy; sweat easily.
What was the biopsy experience like?
