@runningfree, I moved your post about giant cell arteritis to this existing discussion in the Polymyalgia Rheumatica (PMR) support group.

- Giant Cell Arteritis Diagnosis: https://connect.mayoclinic.org/discussion/giant-cell-arteritis-diagnosis-1/

I did this so you can read previous posts and connect easily with fellow GCA members like @oztrax @katclub @tillysam @khmc @artist01 @tsc and many others.

Are you looking for a new doctor? How are you doing?

Was looking for I guess if anyone else experienced anything like that. Not sure what to think. I know it's still swelling at times but it's on the inside but I feel stupid complaining about it. I saw 3 other doctors that year and got different answers to what I had. I symptoms all showed the temperial arthritis but the tests didn't back it up. One doctor told me it was reminisce of my shingles that I had 7 yrs earlier... and one said no it's definitely sinis, the ent said no on that one and he did the surgery on my nose and both sides and yeah that was horrible. Now I have a nose spray I use every day because the surgery didn't work. I am going blind and the right side is the worst. And that's also the side the migraines are normally on.
