Hi Kayva, Have you had added stress in your life lately? If you have, then maybe that's why your sed rate went back up. Too much stress could trigger a relapse. The good news is that you are still on a low dose at 5 mg, so don't worry too much about it. I'm on 5 mg too. The only symptoms I've noticed, are increased fatigue, and some mild stiffness in the back of my neck. Also, I've had a sore right elbow, but I think it's tennis elbow, and not related to my PMR. I hope so, anyway! My sed rate and CRP were normal at my last blood test three weeks ago, so my rheumatologist asked me to remain on the 5 mg, for now, and then call him in two months. Hang in there, Kayva! Please post soon and let me know how you are doing! Best wishes! Shar
