Is Flying Safe For A PMR Patient?
Five years ago I had PMR. It went away after a year . I have been diagnosed with GCA 6 weeks ago. I had blurry and double vision. I was put on 60 mg of Prednisone and am now down to 35 mg. prednisone. Still have blurry vision , but not as much. Can I fly with this diagnosis , or is it too early? Also, will the blurry vision and some double vision(when I look into the distance ) ever go away?
