I hated being on prednisone. Tapered of about six weeks ago, went thru horrible pain trying to figure out what to take.

Gave into the following routine hoping to take it easy and it all goes away.

I now take
Two Tylenol extra strength 500 mg with two 200 mg ibuprofen every morning
One Tylenol n one ibuprofen around 2 pm
One Tylenol, one Tylenol pm an two ibuprofen at night

I feel pretty normal now!

(And this is a bit less than my doctor said I could take).

The rheumatologist I am going to now thinks that I do not have PMR but spondylo arthritis. I have been put on hydroxychloroquine and when that didn't work sulfasalazine. I had to have a failed root canal tooth extracted and took Tylenol 1000 mg for pain 3X/day The Tylenol solved a lot of problems. I am wondering what is my diagnosis? I have been searching the Internet and think I have myositis. It is not common, but the symptoms seem to fit.
