How often should CRP be tested? Something I have wondered about. I am about 6 month on prednisone now just reduced to 5mg today. I got down to 5 once before but my symptoms flared up and I hiked back up to 8 and have crept back to 5. I am 65 try to stay active and noticeable stiffness in some fingers along with my leg muscles get too weak after a couple hours to keep dancing which is a central activity for me.

My last CRP a couple months back was 14.

Cheers to all us sufferers.

I was referred to a rheumatologist after my GP diagnosed me and started me on prednisone. It took a couple of months to get in to see the rheumatologist. He wanted blood work every 3 months.

I currently have monthly tests for CRP.

My CRP is tested every 3 weeks
