Hello @adah, welcome to Connect. I have no medical training or background but have read that if your immune system makes low levels of antibodies, you may have a greater chance of developing repeated infections. There are some good explanations of the tests here:

Hi John,

Just wanted to mention a warning for all. Last Thursday was my birthday, so I got off my good diet by eating large portions of 2 very, very rich birthday cakes and drinking wine. After being of prednisone for over 2 weeks, had to take some this morning. I have PMR and the worst culprit for all inflammatory conditions is SUGAR.
