Hi @SusanEllen66, Sorry to hear your vision is getting worse. What you describe sounds a lot like Giant Cell Arteritis.
"GCA can affect your eyesight, causing sudden vision loss or double vision. Blindness caused by GCA generally happens first in one eye, but can also happen in the other eye if the condition is not treated. That is why it is extremely important to be checked by an ophthalmologist right away if you have these symptoms."

Have you ever been tested to see if you have Giant Cell Arteritis?

@johnbishop I had a biopsy of my temporal artery last year. It was negative. So, I don’t have GCA.
