Oh my gosh - I didn't know the on-going inflammation can trigger GCA. That is scary! However, my inflammatory markers were well within the low-normal range when I decided to taper off Prednisone, but I am still experiencing pain and stiffness, although not nearly as bad as it was when I was first diagnosed. If anyone can enlighten me more about triggering CGA I would love to hear from them. Regards to all. Also, does PMR every just go away?
My Rheumatologist said pain will probably continue for a month once off prednisone. Also that pain is t always an indicator that there is necessarily inflammation. They treat the condition not symptoms. For me losing bone density and elevation of blood sugars is an issue. Nightmare cycle for sure. Hope you are doing well.
