hi
if you are gettig adequate physical response with lessening of symptoms-it is good to continue with the treatment.You may get ESR repeated.In case it is at same level or goe higher than it may mean some disease process is still active and your treatment may require a review,maybe ayurvedic medicines and treatment has to be taken for longer periods, but a consultation with an allopath rheumatologist may also be done.what really matters is a symptomatic response and control of disease process too
Best Wishes,
