I have not seen a specific study but there is a discussion where you can read what other members have shared.

Hi ..I’ve been tapering since January. I’m down to 8 mg (from 20). I have very little pain or stiffness. However, yesterday I had my bloodwork done and my sed rate was almost as high as before I was on prednisone —about 15 points higher than 3 months ago. This is very worrisome. Has anyone else had a high sed rate when ramping down? Tks!!
