Temporal Arteritis: If you have been diagnosed with this condition i'm sure you've been told that it is usually an extreme emergency and needs to be treated despite the pregnancy. The main dangers blindness. Good luck speak to your physician.

Need more info: The chances of your having temporal arthritis at the age of 31 are extremely remote. How do you know this diagnosis to be true? Certainly any standard form of treatment for temporal arthritis would include the use of high-dose steroids and this is definitely not good for a pregnancy. The consequences of not treating temporal arthritis are not very good either. But again, proof of the diagnosis?
