    Yes, most people feel better that quickly and some take less time - it worked for me in 36 hours.  There will be many who can say that it took hours, not days or weeks.

    Why are you so sure you will get GCA?  Only about 1 in 6 people go on to develop it, so chances are you won't.  PMR can be the most painful of the two, while GCA can be more serious if the optic arteries are involved.  I wouldn't worry about it too much as the Pred has worked it's miracle for you meaning that right now you have PMR alone to cope with.

    I hope you have a smooth ride down the very slow reductions and that you go into remission without any problems.
