Prednisone tapering is challenging. What does remission feel like?

It's good you have an upcoming appointment with a Rheumatologist. I believe the most accurate way of diagnosing GCA is with a temporal biopsy. My CRP levels were also normal when the biopsy confirmed I had GCA.

Yes thanks @minijohn. Ophthalmologist says too far along with the Prednisone to do a temporal biopsy. The jaw pain did stop when I increased the dose to 15 mg., so just a slight increase. Next step is to see what the Rheumatologist says. Thanks so much. ~ Deb
