Any signs of loss of vision don’t wait. Get on high doses of steroids. Vision loss doesn’t necessarily come at once. It may start slowly and then one day it’s gone. Get on higher doses NOW
Thanks @tsc. I haven't experienced the scalp tenderness ,vision problems or the sharp pains but the rest of your symptoms match mine to a tee. I have an appointment with my PCP next week and will definitely mention GCA. The loss of vision possibility is indeed worrisome. I really appreciate your response.
