C Reactive Protein levels while tapering
When I was first diagnosed with PMR in August 2022, my C reactive protein (CRP) level was elevated: 25 mg/L should be < 7.0 mg/L
I started on 40 mg of prednisone. My monthly CRP tests are much lower: 0.9 mg/L 1.5 mg/L and today's was 1.5 mg/L
After each test, my doctor has reduced my prednisone: 40 mg to 20 mg to 15 mg to 12.5 mg to 10 mg.
I am curious to know what other people are seeing for CRP numbers while tapering.
Thanks
Ginger

I had CRP in the 60s after a URI and repeated 2 weeks later it was as normal. Any signs of chronic infection?
