HiI had been going along steadyish for a year or more on 3mg pred. Aches in the morning but nothing very bad and I was very active.
In February I had some severe pain in the side of my leg and breast, very severe so requested a blood test first of all. Had a mammogram which was clear. Dr said no action on blood test but i found out later that CRP was15. I saw another Dr and had another blood test which was 11. He said that it was too high and to take 10mg pred for 1 month , 9 the next etc. I asked for another blood test hoping to see if the CRP was lower again as I didn't want to take so much pred. It was 15 again but the very same Dr noted no action. I'm totally confused. I tried calling rheumatology but the lines are closed. There is no helpline.
Is 15 catastrophic ? Should I take more pred?
Sorry for the ramble !
