Diver which led to infection to burst colon. Emergency surgery. On prednisone for GCA since 2010. Able to answer and share on both issues.

Oh, a burst colon sounds very painful. Your experiences on diverticulitis will be welcome in the Digestive Health group https://connect.mayoclinic.org/group/digestive-gastrointestinal-problems/ and you may also wish to join the GCA discussions in the Polymyalgia Rheumatica (PMR) group https://connect.mayoclinic.org/group/polymyalgia-rheumatica-pmr/ Many people are talking about prednisone there.

Naturally, I look forward to your knowledge and support in the Ostomy group.
