Eyelid tic
Posted , 6 users are following.
Is there any reason to be worried about an eyelid tic in the absence of any other symptoms of GCA? I have had PMR for four months. My Rheumatologist said that GCA most often occurs early, not after treatment has started. I am currently on 6 mg of pred (second of four weeks at this dosage).

I have a tic from tired eyes. Too much working on computer. So I take a rest. Usually takes a few days to go away. Longer if I don't stop soon enough. The headache I've always had. Lack of sleep also gives me a tic.
I guess the question would be "what have you been doing that would tire your eyes?".
If the answer is nothing then a trip to the doctor.
With PMR I find it easy to see small changes being indicators of a bigger problem. Its a fine line between relaxing and rushing to the doctor. Seems easier to relax the longer I have it and the lower the pred dose.

I don't think it's anything to worry about but if you are worried do tell your gp. All the best, Christina

As for your rheumatologist saying "GCA most often occurs early, not after treatment has started", that is not true. It can occur either alone, at the same time as being diagnosed with PMR, OR at any time during treatment for PMR.
