@geniecm - From the Mayo page - "Giant cell arteritis is an inflammation of the lining of your arteries. Most often, it affects the arteries in your head, especially those in your temples. For this reason, giant cell arteritis is sometimes called temporal arteritis."

Thank you, John. It is exactly as I thought a d GCA stands for. Giant Cell Arteritis. I was relieved of body pains after starting on 50 mgs of Prednisone but the throbbing headache, jaw and neck pain remain.
