All the more reason for you to be seen soon - sore scalp is a common GCA symptom.

Anything else? What about jaw discomfort when chewing? Increased sweating? Feeling more unwell?

I wouldn’t say an increase in sweating as that happens fairly frequently anyway! I guess the pain is making me feel lousy too. Jaw bones feel achy and upper teeth ache a bit.

Hi,

If GP doesn’t spark, then maybe a visit to A&E is in order, don’t need to remind you of my experience. In fact you can quote me to GP if you think it might galvanise her!

Please keep in touch.

Don't ignore those symptoms, go to the hospital if no joy with your GP, better to be safe than sorry. ATB.
