My rheumatologist appreciated it when I informed her whenever I "adjusted" my prednisone dose. She was only worried that I might increase my prednisone dose for the wrong reason. She wrote what she called a "standing order" so I could check my inflammation markers whenever I was thinking about increasing my prednisone dose.

I somewhat appreciated that I could check my inflammation level whenever I wanted to. Trouble was ... the lab informed my rheumatologist about my inflammation markers whenever I checked my ESR and CRP on my own. Before long ... my rheumatologist was calling me to tell me my levels were high. She only wanted to know how much more prednisone I took.
