I don't have a crystal ball foggy or clear. I just know what is working for me. I don't pretend to know what will work for anyone else.
That is exactly the point about CRP/ESR. Some sources say people have to be elevated inflammation markers in order to have PMR ... I don't know about GCA. Other sources say no ... people can have PMR and still have normal inflammation markers. I believe the latter but who knows for sure?
My inflammation markers sometimes squeaked into the normal range when I was taking prednisone. Most of the time they were higher than normal but what is "normal?"
