When do inflammation markers go down though while on meds. Obviously my actual question got mixed in with all my history. Thanks

My inflammation marker went down the first month on prednisolone.
Mine went down within two weeks, but it was 80 at the time I was diagnosed. I feel like I get hurt/injured every time I try to do something physical though, and I shake all the time.
My Sed rate did not go down much at all from 86 at the start of prednisone two and a half years ago. Then this last test it is down to 68 so it has moved the right direction finally. CRP down from 25 to 8. Everyone seems to be different in their response to prednisone. It takes much patience.

My CRP went down within the 1st 3 months of Prednisone. I was diagnosed Feb 2020 by my PCP and started on 15 mg of Prednisone. I did not have any Covid vaccines before being dx. I am now down to 1 mg and do have more pain in hips and some shoulder but am able to manage that with Tylenol so far.
