I had the biopsy Friday, will know results sometime next week. My rheumatologist was on vacation from Christmas to New Years. She did give me a script for 40 mg prednisone before she left. I am on 3 mg for PMR. I decided not to take the 40 mg until I get the test back. I understand the risk, but symptoms have significantly improved over the last week, my sed rate was elevated, but crp was normal. I also raised my PMR pred from 2-3. The biopsy was more complicated than I thought it would be.
