Thank you for your input. I'm in my 2nd injection of Actemra and they tapered my Prednisone down to 30 mg. Lessening of pain but still have very blurred eyes. I also am also scheduled for cataract surgery so I'm not sure how much of the blurred vision is coming from GCA. Also seeing Vascular and venous ultrasound. I think it's too late for a biopsy. My Rheumatologist started it most likely won't give a definitive diagnosis. She's making her determination on the blood test results and symptoms. Wish you luck on your journey too.🤞
