I’m 63 and I vape, quit Marlboros 11 years ago. I’ve been diagnosed with GCA an Auto Immune Disease. I have to check my CRP and SED Rate monthly due to I could go blind or have a stroke if steroids don’t keep my levels normal. My CRP was at a high of 153 in April when diagnosed, which is off the charts. Drs couldn’t believe it was that high. I’ve stayed under 10 with an average of I’d say 5 or 6 CRP since April, the bummer is last months test I was at 3 which is normal and today back up to 12. Dr will probably up my prednisone dose again on Friday.
