Claudation of my jaw was a symptom plus terrible terrible headache
Luckily my GP put me on a lot of prednisone and then booked temporal artery surgery which revealed CGA
I was really in bad shape the prednisone was a miracle

@jardine1 I'm so thankful you got properly diagnosed since that is not always the case. I had jaw claudication and couldn't eat anything...but my doctor insisted I had the flu! Surprise! , turned out to be a raging case of GCA.💞
