I was being tested for temporal arteritis and take 3 ibprofrin every 6 hrs to control temple pain my sed came back normal could that affected the test?

No: Ibuprofen is not effective so it will not lower the sed rate in people with active temporal arteritis.

A member asked:
With temporal arteritis does your temple artery become inflamed and go away? By that I mean, my temporal artery will be very visible for days and then go away for weeks. This happened over the last 4 months? Would that be a sign of temporal arteritis?
