People can lose sight with GCA without ever getting a diagnosis, I'm afraid.
I am partially sighted these days. R-eye has been wrecked badly, moved onto the L. I had retinal vascular hemmorage. It hasn't been easy, let's put it this way. I also had "stroke" a few years ago. inflammation tends to narrow the vessels leading to rupture. I was bed bound for 2-3 yrs. initially, diagnosed as having ME. I had a hallmark symptoms for GCA. Nobody was interested.
