@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.

That has been a long journey, I think mine just started. My SED rate went down almost immediately from 92 to normal after 60 mg of Prednisone daily after two weeks. Now I'm just inching down. I could also go to Mayo as Iive in Twin Cities. I am waiting to see what happens when I get close to 1 or .5 mg daily.
