I have been treated for PMR for about two years. Gradually reduced from a start of 20mg of prednisone. No systoms at 3mg of prednisone a day. Sed Rate of 2 and CRP Protein under 3, all normal. Went down to 2.5 mg of prednisone for 3 months, still no symptoms but sed rate went to 6 and CRP Protein still under 3 but a hair higher than before. Rheumy says it's OK to go down to 2mg for 3 months. Does a 1/2 milligram really make a difference. Any thoughts would be greatly appreciated.
