Thank you so much for your insights. I also had jaw/ throat issues, pulses of ear pain at night, a two-degree elevation of temp and drippy nose. This group is just what I need right now. The three weeks of pain across my brow and temples and waking several times each night with pain was grinding me down. The ultrasound this morning is inconclusive, I think, but that first 20mg last night found me waking with almost all symptoms 90% subdued, and I was so grateful. I want to quit taking the Tylenol, which scares me a little and only seems to work at close to the max doses. Can’t take ibuprofen any more because I’m on Eliquis. Sigh. Also recently diagnosed as diabetic, very beginning, no symptoms, and now I learn the prednisone is definitely going to work against me on that score. I already take famotidine twice daily for Silent Reflux— life sure gets complicated with conflicting tx for co- morbidities.
