Hello @glinda47, I would like to add my welcome along with @tsc and others. There are other members with PMR who have experience with other treatments for PMR that you might find helpful:

--- Alternative to Prednisone for Treating PMR?: https://connect.mayoclinic.org/discussion/alternative-to-prednisone/
--- PMR: Are there treatment alternatives to Prednisone?: https://connect.mayoclinic.org/discussion/alternatives-to-prednisone/

I know it's difficult to navigate these symptoms and especially when you feel all alone. I'm pretty sure that being alone is not the case and there are others with similar symptoms who will hopefully respond and share what has helped them. The best thing you can do is learn as much as you can about your health conditions and what treatments are available then work with your rheumatologist or care team on a treatment plan.
