Hello @asklizzie, Welcome to Connect. Yes, there are a lot of us members who struggle with polymyalgia rheumatica (PMR). I have had 2 occurrences of PMR myself but it is currently in remission and has been for almost 2 years. My treatment for both occurrences was started at 20 mg prednisone. The first time it took me 3 years to taper off. The second time it took about a year and a half.

Have you been newly diagnosed with PMR?
