Adjusting to life with temporal arteritis

Just diagnosed. On 60mg prednisone for approximately 6 weeks. I have a side effect that none of my doctors can identify. I have jaw claudication and when I chew two golf ball size lumps appear between eyes and ears. Has anyone experienced this?

@bgaro - from Tinkerbell - I guess you have Giant Cell Arteritis. Last October I tapered off of Prednisone after 1 1/2 years of GCA. I have never heard of the symptoms you mentioned.
