If I don't respond quickly to the prednisone, does that mean that I don't have either?

I'm not a doctor so I can't say much more. I hope you get things figured out and get the help you need.

Prednisone is the go to drug for GCA in very high doses. The biggest issue is loss of vision. Your doctors should be well aware of this.
