@charann2000 - my symptoms disappeared the evening they started me on 60 mg of Prednisone. My first Sed Rate was done at Mayo and 3 months later it was down to 4. Since the first Sed Rate, I usually run about 6 or 8. I noticed the tooth pain early on in the disease but it went away and never came back. The plastic surgeon that did the biopsy told me that when he pressed on the temporal artery and I felt pain, he was pretty sure the biopsy was going to come back positive. You are going through the same thing that I did, just getting someone to believe that you are in pain and that something is wrong. Have you been to your internist? He/she could order a Sed Rate. Do you have to have a referral to go for an eye exam?
