I was sure I fit the profile for GCA when I heard it it was more prevalent in Scandinavian countries. My father was born in Sweden, my mother’s folks were also born there, and there are lots of scandinavians up here in Minnesota.

@captainkenny - I wanted to let you know that I had my ACTH Stimulation test last week at Mayo. I spoke the Endocrinologist the next day and my results showed that my adrenal gland will start back up in the future. We just don’t know when. I did have pain in my right eye and above the ear on the one day that I could not take Prednisone. This bothered me because now am wondering what the Neurologist will do with this information. I will see my Neurologist in June.
