Prednisone tapering is challenging. What does remission feel like?

Hi John, do you remember what your CRP numbers were when you were tapering? Mine went way down on the high dose of Prednisone, .2 from 10.6, but since tapering they've gone up slightly to 1.2. My rheumy still wants to try this taper. I do not have any symptoms so far.

Hi Teri, I don't recall having the CRP or SED rate tests done while I was tapering. I did have them done as part of my annual physical exam to check on my PMR since it went into remission in 2010. The numbers were below 3.0 until 2016 when it came out of remission for a year and half.
