Patient improves on prednisone, isosorbide, hydralazine, metoprolol,
but rash develops on ACE. Osteopenia (by DEXA) develops most likely resulting from the prednisone treatment. Additionally, the patient's blood pressure and glucose become difficult to control. As a result of the hypertension and diabetes, tapering of the prednisone to 15 mg/day over 10 weeks is attempted. When prednisone reaches 15 mg/day, GCA symptoms return; recurrent fever, headache, fatigue, and her sed rate increases from 4 to 73. The prednisone is increased to 40 mg/day.
