Welcome @veronicamac, Sorry to hear that you have been struggling for 9 years with PMR. When you say every time you reduce down to 2.5 mg of prednisone the PMR flares up and you have to increase the dosage. I'm wondering how much you are tapering down when you go to 2.5 mg. It may be that it's too large of a taper down percentage wise. What dosage were you taking before going down to 2.5 mg?
