@brazuca44usa please let us know what your opthalmologist and your rheumatologist say. It’s frustrating when doctors don’t take women’s symptoms seriously, eh!

Hello,
@rashida, I’m so disappointed because, I thought I was seeing an ophthalmologist but instead they scheduled me with an optometrist. I questioned them if an optometrist can detect any eye diseases and was told, yes. Per the optometrist, I’ve extremely dry eyes. I’ve been feeling a lot of pressure inside my ears today. Does PMR or GCA cause pressure inside the ears, do you know? I had a very weird symptoms last night. Both my knees got extremely red and so hot, it felt like I had a fever on my knees. What are your symptoms?
