This is elderdiana. I do not seem to know how to reply on my device. If this message gets to bt56 I also am being treated for GCA since summer of 2015. I take prednisone and methotrexate, have blood tests every 6 weeks, got down to 3 mg from starting at 60 mg, then back up to 5mg, comin g down again monthly, fingeres crossed. I think I should see another Rhumy for second openion. My doctor of 3 + years wants me on a new drug that is not even approved intravenously for giant cell artrritis. But life goes on.
