I found Fosamax difficult to take, and was switched to Risendronate … no problems with that at all. Been on it for nearly 4 years. On 10 mg of Prednisone and Methotrexate 20 mg weekly. What an ugly illness PMR is! All snakes and ladders. x

Am also taking risendronate weekly for past 2 years with no side effects. Took prednisone for 14 months for PMR and finished September 2023.
Had flare up of PMR late January so back on Prednisone in Feb and now tapering off for the next 2 months!!!! Hopefully no more flare ups when l finish the steroids.
