    Hello Andre, luckily I have never experienced such symptoms but I do know that people do not have to suffer all of the associated symptoms to develop GCA. If I were you I really would get myself down to see my dr. The sooner this is sorted the better. Please do let us know the outcome. Regards, christina

      Christina, amazingly we appear to have posted at exactly the same time, and we're obviously singing from the same hymn sheet, too!

      Absolutely, and how nice to finally introduce myself to you Mrs O. I know you have suffered from GCA in the past and obviously if you think it needs to be seen quickly, then it does! All the best, christina

    Andre, this is something that you should get checked out with your GP, and sooner rather than later in case you need some urgent treatment.

    Judging by your photo Andre this is probably not the right forum for your problem!

    However - what the others have said is right, you need to see a doctor and not be asking non-medically qualified contributors to offer suggestions. It needs proper examination so off to the GP with you at the least!
