Hi @carol75 I had an incredibly stiff neck. I couldn't turn my head, but had to turn my whole body to look to the side. The pain was unrelenting on left and right sides down the back of my head, but it went away on 40 mg of prednisone. My temporal artery biopsy was positive. Good luck, I hope you get some answers and some relief soon.

So sorry that you had to be going through that. I know exactly what you were feeling. I’ve been on 40 mg since the beginning of August but it just keeps getting worse. I’m hoping that the new medication will be approved so I can get started. I appreciate your feedback.
