Please detail your meds, dosage and latest bloods with the ranges as this will help people to better offer informed support.

Am afraid do not know exact ESR levels; other meds are weekly Alendronic acid, daily calcium, omeprazole as needed. When diagnosed with GCA 18 mths ago started on 60 mg daily, have gradually reduced to 2 mg and everything has gone remarkably well until a few weeks ago when started to feel as though may be having a relapse, however GP says blood ok (but separately have been asked to have it checked in a months time). As I said earlier made worse by very painful knee, had x ray but nothing serious seems to have shown up, going to have physio. Hope this helps.
