Giant cell arteritis

has anyone developed this disorder? I am somewhat frightened that I am developing giant cell arteritis because of my chronic headaches and fading vision. Any information would really bless my life.

Unfortunately that is the first thing we think of when we get headaches and problems with vision. Of course get checked out but your headaches may be due to you straining to see. Have your eyes checked for cateract (not sure of spelling). I am having to have surgery on both eyes, first one on the 12th May as the steroids have excellerated them. They may have developed in 10 years without the steroids but they have come on very quickly. My vision is pretty poor and is having an effect on normal life.
Please get checked.

Pred made them "bloom" faster. I had the first one done March
l6 and the second will be May l8th. Pretty simple business and
the results are wonderful. I can read, watch TV, computer,
all with no sign of glasses and that's just with one eye done.
So you can look forward to seeing things again and colors being so much brighter but one drawback.....I didn't realize my house was so dirty!
