I'm in the 60 mg prednisone. But not sleeping maybe 2 hours at night ,
total. Ì have read that the biopsy could miss it too. Just because it's
negative doesn't mean you don't have it, right? I don't seem to have the
typical symptoms. Mauve i caught it before it got too inflamed? I will see
my headache doctor in an hour. Maybe she will know what to do. I only
have 2 more days of the prednisone so either someone had to fill it or
decide no. My primary has been too busy to get to see. So it's always
been a doctor on call.

Wow, 60 mg is a high dose, but not for GCA. And you're supposed to taper gradually off prednisone, not quit cold turkey.
On my first 40 mg I couldn't sleep much, but this time round I had no problem sleeping.
I hope you can get to the bottom of this and find out what's wrong.
