@kimh, don't be afraid of the GCA biopsy, Kim. Honestly, it was not bad at all, and just took a few minutes. You don't feel a thing, and there's no pain afterward.

Thanks @artist01 ! Having said that, with my luck, they will probably carve out what little brain is left! Seriously though, thank-you for sharing. When my doctors first mentioned it, I got a little freaked out. I have had several surgeries in my abdominal area, but the head area seemed a little scary to me.
