I have Polymyalgia and for the last 18 months have had symptoms if GCA. Burning temes, jaw cramping, tongue pain with spasms, head pain with tenderness in the scalp of those areas. My bloods are always normal and biopsy is negative. Currently on 4mgs Prednisolone & 150mgs Azathioprine. For the last 4 months I have had violet- blue eye lids does anyone else suffer from this? Thanks Runrig x
