Hi @whaler33 I hope you get an answer from your biopsy. It's a great relief to get a diagnosis. What symptoms did you experience and for how long? If it is GCA, we are lucky that symptoms are managed so well for most people with prednisone. I began a high dosage of 40 mg in May and now just started a taper to 3mg. My symptoms have disappeared with the exception of a little twinge here and there. I just try to respect my body by eating well, exercising, getting proper sleep (on a high dosage of prednisone that will be challenging and NEVER take melatonin). Also, try to avoid high stressors or pushing yourself too hard. My mother-in-law had GCA, diagnosed in her 80s, and lived to be nearly 100. I wish you the best and keep us posted.
