That's good to know. Thank you so much. I'm going to have the biopsy tomorrow. I hate worrying; it's such a waste of time.

Had the bilateral temporal arterial biopsy and was surprised at the size of the incision, however, it looked a lot worse than it felt. The pain was not extreme. Just made everything sore from my top jaw to the top of my head. Only took 2 Tylenol after the procedure and now I feel okay. Will have results for Giant Cell Arteritis within 3 to 5 business days.
