Not suggesting you do this because I would not wish the steroid on anyone. If your blood markers are good for PMR its just the taper. But many on another site i belong to take half the dose in the morning and half at night. The prednisone has about a 8-10hr life. I used dexamethasone which has a longer life and can go all day. I was off in 6 months. Evening dose can mess with your sleep but the pain can mess with it also.

Thank you for the suggestion. I tried this when I was at the higher dose and unfortunately I had a hard time sleeping. 🙁 I might have to try it again.
