What tests did the Dr base your diagnosis on? I don't have scalp tenderness or any of the symptoms you had, just headaches on the left side that come and go, and pain across the back of my neck. My blood work is all ok. Since 2019, my SED rate was never above 16 except for a week ago it was 25. My CRP was .04 on 1/25/22 but a day later when I was diagnosed with Covid it was .20. In 2019 I had both left and right arteries biopsied and it was negative. I know some people can have normal biopsy's and blood work and still have TA. I do have thyroid disease and take a supplement, which was recently reduced from 50 to 25mcg. Thanks for all your information.
