My artery biopsy came back negative, no giant cells. It did show chronic inflammation. I will have a sed rate and crp done in 2 weeks to see if sed rate is improving. I am taking 3 mg prednisone (increase from 2). The pain in jaw and around eyes is not gone, but much improved. I did have 2 viral infections this fall (tested negative for Covid, but wondering if I had it), so that may be behind all of this. 3rd bout of PMR and I read about the related conditions. There is so much we don’t know.
