Can you help me? I do not understand (my blood test for PMR was 69.9! Normal is 7.4). What blood test are you talking about?

Probably ESR or CRP. I don't know what "normal is 7.4" refers to.. There aren't any direct blood tests for PMR. Indirect tests for inflammation are done and ESR and CRP are sometimes called inflammation markers.
