Hi Beryl @beryl... My last bout with PMR ended this past February when I finally was able to taper off of prednisone. It only lasted a year and a half. The first bout lasted 3 years and it went into remission for 6 years so I'm hoping I get another six years or more of no PMR. You have the right attitude - keep smiling and taking it one day at a time.
