PMR flare without a dose reduction

@skiing I think I remember having a few similar flares during my first round with PMR that when I had been on a dose of around 10 mg and felt pretty good. I overdid some activities during the day and I felt worse the next day. The first time I didn't put 2 and 2 together but the second time it happened I started listening to my body a little closer and tried not to overdo any activity/exercise. @jmcc, @tsc, @kmeikle1, @milld835 and others may have some thoughts or suggestions for you.

Hi @skiing, I've read that too much activity can cause flare ups. Best not to overdo it. Did you get back an elevated CRP? I think tapering is a balancing act, so, hopefully, the increased dosage will alleviate your pain and the gradual taper will help.
