Thank you for all the PMR links. I'm at 7.5 mg of prednisone now but I'm considering going back to 10mg tomorrow. My pain level today is terrible. This is twice in less than a week where the pain kept me from doing anything. I had to go to the ER for painful, teary eyes a month ago. I saw an ophthalmologist who said I was basically tearing a layer off my retina. I now use drops and ointment at night. I wish Kevzera worked faster. I'm sure my osteopenia is gone now with the prednisone use. I did 2 years of injections of Tylmos (very expensive) to make my bones better which the Tymlos did. Guess I'll see how I feel tomorrow. Thanks, again!
