Have your GCA symptoms cleared up? Since you're taking prednisone, I'm not sure you can trust the inflammation numbers from blood tests. My GCA was confirmed with a temporal artery biopsy, but ultrasound can also be used.

I'm waiting to hear back from the doctor. He wanted to see if the esr and csp tests showed a difference from December. I'll ask about an ultrasound.
