MD stated clinical remission on 12-17-2014. I started my pred. taper from 15mg on 12/17/2014.. to 10mg .. 3 days later tenesmus ( excuse the spelling) started. Went up to 12.5 and it stopped. Had infusion #4 of entyvio on 12-29-2014 and had some spotting rectally that day. Went back down to 10mg on 12-29-2014... a little tenesmus today... but bearable.
Lab CRP 1.6; Sed rate very normal. ... Do you think the pred. taper could cause elevation in CRP. My previous level 2 months ago CRP 1.2. Overall feel ok. All other lab normal.... FBS 88. I have been on prednisone for 3 years.
I feel much better physically but nasal allergies really have been on edge. Mountain cedar blooming time.
