What is use to diagnose temporal arteritis i was told it only happens i women but having severe headaches for a year sore tempals?

SEE BELOW: Typically, this occurs in far more elderly people, but, if a question, screening is done using sedimentation rate, and c-reactive protein. If elevated, a temporal artery biopsy should be confirmatory. Since you have experienced symptoms for over a year and have not lost vision, doubt you have temporal or giant cell arteritis. Maybe you have problems with your jaws. Consult with oral surgeon.

Highly unlikely: Temporal arteritis in a 36 years is incredibly rare. I strongly doubt that it is a consideration.

See below: At your age, temporal arteritis is not likely. However; you may want to see your dentist to be evaluated for TMJ which could explain your symptoms.
