Hi there, I agree with you my Temporal Large Cell Arteritis started after I passed out and fell face first like you. Prior to the fall I had excellent health. Do you know of any documentation of the effect of blunt head trauma and LCA??
How has your health been compromised by all these drugs?

I believe I researched concussions and immune system. Whatever it was, it said that a major fall would impact the immune system. PMR is directly related to the immune system so I put it together. My rheumatologist did not agree with me, but he didn’t think I was having a recurrence of GCA when I was having a relapse. As for the medications, I have had different impact from different meds. The major one is the prednisone which brings a whole bag of issues. The brain fog upsets me because I don’t think as fast and as clearly as I did. It makes me tired and weak. Every day is a new day!
