Hi Joan, yes I had Temporal Arteritis after a nasty fall after donating blood at OneBlood Mobile Bus. After stepping out of the Bus, I passed out falling face first. I had very bad head, neck shoulder pain. After my astute ENT specialist called out GCA after seeing raised nodules on both temples. Sent me to vascular surgeon and I had 1-1/2" of arteries removed on both sides, in Emergency Surgery. I must tell you it was major surgery and I had a painful and long recovery in the post operating recovery room. Good Luck.
