I would also like to congratulate you for getting off prednisone!

My experience was much the same when I tapered off prednisone. I felt like I was only in the "eye of the storm." That was how I described being off prednisone. I felt there were problems everywhere in my body. I feared that being in the eye of the storm was only a temporary reprieve from PMR.

It took time for me to feel like the storm was gone and wouldn't return. I now feel like PMR is gone and it is time to rebuild but that takes time too.

Thank you! That’s what I hope is happening to me. Both my GP and Rheumatologist warned me of the side effects of taking prednisone but neither one of them warned me about the side effects of getting off the prednisone other than a vague warning not to drop too fast.

Best of luck on your PMR-free journey!
