Are you working with a rheumatologist on your tapering schedule for GCA?

Yes, at first I got the cluster headache tag, went thru ENT and neurology, I kept telling drs I don’t have! Finally stopped seeing neurologist, and ent said there was noting wrong with sineses! Ent was the dr that noticed and diagnosed GCA! My rheumatologist is now working with me instead of pushing me off! I don’t blitz and taper, more steady at 10mg 2x daily then my aper down! As things return I go back! When everything seems good I quite pred and go on advil. Tried nsaids to no avail!
