Thanks so much I’m grateful for your help! I’ll try it. Do you increase a half mg if the morning pain doesn’t subside in a week?

I did increase the dose a half mg quite a few times my last six months when I was trying to get off of prednisone and going back and forth between 1 mg and 1/2 mg until I was finally able to stop taking the prednisone with little to no morning pain. I think if my PMR ever comes back again I might try this tapering plan on the HealthUnlocked PMR/GCA forum. It might be worth a try if you are having trouble tapering off.
