Hi, @floridabonnie, what you describe--pain in temples and scalp tenderness--are 2 symptoms of GCA that my eye dr listed when I saw her last week. GCA requires a much higher dose of prednisone to resolve--anywhere from 40-60mg/day--so that's also something you'd need a doctor's guidance on. I think you should get checked out asap. Better safe than sorry, and I do hope you don't have it. Best of luck.
