I was diagnosed with GCA at your age and had a biopsy and it came up negative. The doctor gave me prednisone for the swelling in my temple and it went away, so I forgot about it, but then it showed up for real at 72. Doctors say it was just a coincidence and it couldn't have been GCA and wasn't possible, but I think it was very weird.
