I am interested in connecting with other patients that have Giant Cell Arteritis. I was diagnosed in May 2017 at Mayo Clinic.

Hey Tinkerbell, I was diagnosed with Giant Cell Arteritis (temporal) July 2017 and only last week started seeing a Rheumatologist because my regular doctor seemed to lose interest in my case. I am down to 10 mg Prednisone now from 40 started in July. My new doctor prescribed Methotrexate, in addition to Prednisone,which I am waiting for my insurance to approve.
