I have had PMR for 2 years and reduced my cortison over this time to 6mg per day. Not easy and also supplementing with 2 x 1000mg paracetomol each day. I am about to see my consultant next week and not good news that my blood markers have gone sky high with Gamma GT 201u/l versus 142u/l only 2 months ago. Same with Protein C reactive which is 9.1mg/L versus 2.3mg/L 2 months ago. I am struggling with pain worse than usual, and trying to figure out what the numbers mean ? I look forward to your thoughts.
