I agree Teri. Jaw pain stopped when I returned to 15 mg. Prednisone, just up a bit from 13.75 mg. Both Neurologist and Ophthalmologist concur - not GCA. Biopsy could not be done as I have been too long on the Prednisone now. Sometimes I feel I am hyper-vigilant but best to err on the side of caution. Much of my pain is a result of tapering a bit too quickly (I believe so anyway.) Thanks again. ~ Deb
