Yes. It’s really quite specific.

I would definitely have this checked put. Do you have PMR? My GCA started like this 9 months ago. By the time I ended up in the ER I had horrible neck pain, could not open my mouth due to pain in both sides of my jaw and had a temp of 103.3 degrees F. I live in Minnesota. My inflammation levels were extremely high. Put me on prednisone right away. It has been a rough 9 months. I am starting Actemra shots now as doctor wants me to start weaning off prednisone. It is causing lots of side effects for me.

Not what you're looking for?
