Temporal Artery Biopsy VS a color Doppler Ultrasound for GCA diagnosis

Why not discuss it with both specialists and make them aware of your preference for the non invasive testing
first. I would go along with the higher dose until the issue is checked out. Good to research and advocate
for yourself but you need the doctors’ experience in your choice of care. Have you had an ophthalmology
consultation?

Thank you for your reply. When you say both specialists you are referring to the rheumatologist and ENT, yes? No, I have not had an opthamology consultation. Will do. As for the bump in dosage, dang. I don't know how long the taper is off of that. The long term use of P and its side effects are troublesome. I want my adrenals to produce cortisol on their own again. It's all the pros and cons. TY
