Thank you John. I am down to 17;5nmg per day may have mistyped. I'm dropping .5 every two weeks. I do not have pain which is wonderful. Thank you for the link to other GCA people. I've only spoken to one person with this and it wasn't a good picture.

@dar9216 - from Tinkerbell - I have GCA and just finished my taper all the way down through 1/2 mg for 2 weeks. I will be going to Mayo on Tuesday and will have a Sed Rate to see if I am okay to stay off of the Prednisone or need to go back on it. I do have strange feelings in my head. It has been a long trip. I was diagnosed on 2 May 2017 and finished the taper last week. Let me know if you have any questions.
