My GP has just increased my pred to 6mg a day (only 2 tabs), because my esr and crp were raised. That'll teach me to complain about having to take four x 1mg tablets a day.

Haha! You know what they say....more than one way to skin a rabbit!
But I’m sorry you’ve had to increase. Are you feeling an increase in symptoms to go with raised markers?
At one point I had to take 12x5mg of Pred while waiting for results of biopsy for GCA. By the time I got prescription changed to 20mg pills and found a chemist that actually stocked them,I got biopsy results and told to go back to 15mg. Seemed a long few weeks.These little things are sent to try us 😌

Never mind - it is still a physiological dose, less then your body makes anyway.
But have you actually got symptoms?
