@amptrooper - You said you have had all types of blood work. I guess they have done a Sed Rate and CRP tests. My Sed Rate was 38 when they diagnosed me at Mayo Clinic. It does not have to be really high to have GCA. Also, had a biopsy the next day and it confirmed the diagnosis.

My biopsey was negative but my rheumatologist said I did have it based on symptoms and a sed rate of 80. This is very tricky to diagnose.
