Pain not as bad today

Hi all hope yr all staying safe. Had a few bad days with pain,today I think it starting to easy a bit well in places, my neck is really tender to touch which I think is causing my headaches and legs are painful and cramping, and cant seem to get warm. I've also learned today that trying to mash potatoes and grate cheese causes shooting pains up my arms, but on the up side Ive slept better than I have been, oh well every day is different so never boring

Karen, those headaches etc could mean the probability that GCA might be raising its head.

Have you contacted your Medics about the new symptoms, if not I would do so today.

Just spoke to her. My blood pressure up so she thinks it headache is cause of my BP being high so got to do week of readings

I remember a medic colleague telling me if raised BP was bad enough to cause a headache it needed attention sooner rather than later ...

My fingers are crossed 🤞

Have you taken your temperature? Running a low fever is a symptom of GCA and that makes you feel cold.

[Hidden in reply to PMRpro]

Temp fine 35.7 and that about normal for me

That is low - no wonder you feel cold!
