Symptoms began to recur 4 years after first episode, just over 2 years
after discontinuing prednisone. Symptoms included fatigue and loss of appetite. The patient commented "I can't believe it but I think I'm getting my illness back". Her sedimentation rate was 95 and CRP was 10. Given the complexity of the patient's story and illness emerging at the time of a slowly improving depression, another biopsy was performed and was positive for GCA. The symptoms were fully controlled in 2-3 weeks after resuming prednisone treatment.
