Not sure that what Kate says is correct. They haven't identified any factors that can reliably differentiate between PMR and LORA and it is accepted by many experts that about 1 in 5 patients with PMR have normal ESR and/or CRP. My CRP has only ever been raised once - on a day where I had a bad atrial fibrillation episode.
I see Dr menon and he's brilliant. Nit a bad thing to say about him. He's got a thing about following low carb diet which is good but only because he had to take steroids himself, didn't behave with food and now is insulin dependent diabetic!!,
