Hey everyone, my SED actually went UP since started the 15 mg

So after posting to all of you about wanting to go up to 20 mg since I still had some pain, but being worried the Dr. wouldn't agree at my appt. this Thursday..well, just got my sed rate back and it actually went up 10. (while on the 15 mg)..so I assume he will agree to bump me up..is this what will probably happen? My blood was normal before, so this more confirms the diagnosis to me, which relieves me after over a year of searching. Thanks for all, everyone!

If you are lucky and he doesn't have some bizarre theory that it shows the pred isn't working! Good luck

Right! Like I said, he has been pretty decent so far so fingers crossed..last evening my neck really got the worst it's been since before the pred, so maybe I got lucky and the inflammation was extra high..lol. I have literally been checked head to toe for everything else, so I think he'll agree.
