Nice message. Yes it is aggravating but not debilitating to have this condition. I only have temporal Arteritis thank goodness and not GCA. Been on prednisone foe several years . So glad it s something that can be treated.

My understanding is that t
Temporal Arteritis and Giant Cell Arteritis are the same. Please explain the difference. .

I'm new here. Just or in 60mg prednisone as a result of swollen temporal artery and history of headaches/ migraines. Blood test showed elevated c- reactive protein. Waiting for more tests to be done. To get a reactive diagnosis of temporal arthritis. My question is are not this and GCA the same thing? It sounds like it isn't from these comments
