After 6 weeks of begging for answers and 6 misdiagnoses, I was diagnosed with temporal Arteritis of the face, head and tongue. I was on 60 mg of prednisone but was bumped to 80 the last 5 days. Still have the headache, jaw pain and my tongue blows up sometimes when I eat. So my question is has anyone else been on this much prednisone? I weigh 135 so it seems extreme but I don’t want to lose vision or have a stroke, not to mention the pain. Was anyone put on methotrexate or actemya for this monster disease? Has it helped?
