I thought that blood tests & a biopsy were really the definitive measure for GCA. The SED rate is what the doctors look at. Are you still having jaw issues? If so, I would suspect GCA.

I had a CT of my Lumbar that’s screwed up a week ago Friday notified the surgeon last Monday and he’s still not called back . He said they’re done with my lumbar that’s what the stimulator is for that doesn’t fully work yet. So my PCP ordered the MRI and he looked at it and saw Narrow Edema and then decided to order the CT to look at the hardware. Hope I’m the only one having so much runaround with Nerdosurgeons!
