After almost a year, I recently dropped down from 4 mg prednisone to 3.5 mg, as I learned the lower we go the more difficult it is and, therefore, I decided to do it in baby steps. Even with only a .5 mg. drop, I went into a full flare. Had recent visit to rheumatologist, who told me the rule of thumb is the bounce back to twice the mg. of what felt okay. So, here I am back at 8 mg, and yet still no relief. Just got my CRP and SED rate bloodwork done and all normal. Has anyone experienced normal bloodwork and still be in a PMR flare?
Thank you in advance for any responses relative to this frustrating PMR!!
