OK... The chiropractor found something in my neck... not sure what, but he "cracked" my neck (adjusted) for lack of a better word...but the headache instantly went away...I go every week to see him...he wants me off pred too...anyway, I am at 20 mg now for 8 days...rheumy wanted me at 17.5 by now, but headache continues and they will work with me... tolerable, but bothersome still...heat helps, also worse in the morning depending on how I sleep... pain seems to originate from the neck then the headache....I am staying on 20 mg until it clears up, or will have to go back up if it doesn't. Looking for a better pillow for sleep for now...
Diagnosed in April or March 2022....PMR, then GCA...started at 10 mg pred., then 60 when they suspected GCA....biopsy was a few weeks after pred started and so was negative...in USA
Also on Actemra (#12 tomorrow) weekly epi pen, and Repatha monthly injection for high cholesterol from Actemra....also a new med for high sugar from pred., I am on a veggie diet for months now, and lost 40 pounds...
