Yes we are !! Although for a long while I didn’t think so . Now did to ask have you or any one in the forum after the procedure experience visual disturbance or tingling down the face , ??? As this is what I’m having ,whether it’s due to the procedure? Or ??? Please your thoughts .

Hi Monkeymate, I did get more head pain after the biopsy and what I suppose was a sort of tingling pain on the side they took the specimen. A few days later I had a droopy eyelid and it felt a bit numb.

I feel quite normal now thank you Monkeymate. I was diagnosed with GCA in early Jan 2017, the biopsy was positive although the eye surgeon made a bit of a mess of it.

Yes, that's where they sent me for the TAB. I must admit, I did feel a bit of out place in there as all the other patients were having eye ops. They made me wait four hours before the procedure, and other few hours for the antibiotic cream, I was not a happy bunny.

You still have to careful though, they would have given you a leaflet explaining about the possible complications from this little op.

Great that diagnosis getting underway for you Monkeymate. ATB

Nerves are bound to be bashed about a bit and they often tingle when damaged.
