Hi @MLeeB, and welcome to Connect. I'm Alyse, and I'm one of the community moderators here. I'm glad to hear that you're slowly adjusting to your recent diagnosis, but can only imagine how life-changing it must be. I found information on lifestyle and home remedies that you may find helpful (http://www.mayoclinic.org/diseases-conditions/giant-cell-arteritis/basics/lifestyle-home-remedies/con-20023109).

Also, I'm tagging @donnalc and @lindy - two members who have wrote about temporal arteritis in the past. I hope you all can share your experiences, as well as any tips or advice.

I was diagnosed in December 2024 with PMR GCA I am on my 2nd week of Actemra and @ 12 mg methoprednisone. I do get Verdugo maybe about 6 times a week it only lasts about 30 seconds to a minute. As I am tapering down in the prednisone it seems to geting better.
