Thanks for your response. You’ve been through a lot!!

My levels were never as high as yours - And yes the pain is not what it was initially but there is still pain which I know is pmr related. I just don’t understand why that isn’t reflected in the blood inflammation markers.

Pain is not the same as the inflammation blood markers. Inflammation blood markers reflect biological processes that your immune system is taking to deal with what it sees as an enemy.

Pain is your nervous system's response to the effects of that enemy and your immune systems attack on your body.

They are related, but really two different things.
