Recently diagnosed with GCA

MaryLiz

Hello,

I am hoping for an inspirational story from someone suffering with GCA. Fortunately, it was caught before visual loss as my GP spotted the signs so I know I've been very lucky. I have been on steroids one week and started other meds.

However, although some of the aches and pains have gone, I'm feeling so fatigued - much worse that I did when I first went to the doctor . I am usually so active and this has come as a shock.

I do understand that there'll be good days and bad days, but anything positive would be so appreciated. Thanks in advance.

Hello and welcome, @MaryLiz . I've no experience of GCÀ and we ďon't get many on here who have it but, if you put 'giant cell arteritis' into the search engine above, several former threads come up. Good luck. .
