Tapering down and inflammation markers up
Polymyalgia Rheumatica (PMR) | Last Active: Aug 4, 2023 | Replies (8)Comment receiving replies
Hello everyone! As a follow up to my above message. I had my meeting today with the doctor.
She feels the markers are slightly up because my body is adjusting to the withdrawal of the prednisone . She feels this way, because I have no symptoms of either condition PMR/GCA and I am in no pain.
she wants me to stay on 10 mg for 6 weeks and is hopeful that my body will adjust to the withdrawal of the prednisone and then I will take a blood test in six weeks. And that will be the determination of what to do next .
Anyone’s thoughts on this theory?

That’s great. I feel like that makes sense. And if you notice a drastic or prolonged worsening change in symptoms, you can always contact your doctor and/or adjust the dosage.
