CRP down
Posted , 5 users are following.
excellent news today CRP down to 5! I'm on 20mg Pred for a month and crp has come down from 100 to 5. Is it going to be a false dawn when they start to taper me?? Anyone had a similar elation to be let down when it raises again as the Pred is lowered!!

you will find other links in the first post with medical articles about managing PMR and GCA and reducing. Further down the thread you will find a couple of posts describing a slow reduction used successfully by quite a few patients on the forums and which is being looed at by one of the research groups as well. Another very similar one is being used by a consultant in the north of England.
The most important thing to remember is the pred cures nothing - you need some to maintain the status quo but it should be well lower than you are on at present.
