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.

Hi Queenie2030,
Just wanted to let you know that my rheumatologist told me that the Sed Rate is often slower than the CRP to decrease with PMR. I am having the same issue and my Sed Rate was 79 when I was first diagnosed but is in the 60s now (almost 1 year later). I hope that is helpful but at least we are seeing some slow movement. Blessings!
Sandi
