Snerd again, GCA to PMR?

following up on my last post half an hour ago, I should have also included that my rheumatologist just reduced me from 2 mg to 1 mg last week. As well, I had an adrenal cortisol test last week and it showed 2.6. The rheumatologist was concerned and he consulted the endocrinologist Who said that it was just a result of long term steroids and will eventually resolve. That’s it
