Yes. I was originally at 60 mgs of Prednisone last September for possible GCA along with PMR. Test results came back less likely to have it so they immediately stated to taper me off the meds and now I'm down to 3 mgs. Unfortunately, some of my symptoms are returning:
Fatigue at times
Persistent cough and clearing of throat (a lot)
Out of Breath a few times which I haven't had since last September
Feeling that I cannot take in enough air almost like a gasp
Some inflammation again throughout my body - swelling in legs, arms, internally, etc. but nothing so drastic that would raise alarm. Just causes stiffness and pressure.
Stiffness
Pain in my shoulders and neck
(Dry Eyes and mouth which never went away)
Light Sensitivity sometimes
My blood work came back and my IGG4, Complement C3, and ACE levels are above the range (higher than they should be), but my Sedimentation Rate is right smack in the middle of the scale which is good; it was high before. I've been diagnosed with PMR, however, now I wonder if this could possibly be Schogren's or IGG4 disease, etc. I'm not the type of person to worry but I'm definitely questioning if this is PMR or if this is something else in addition to PMR. What are your thoughts? Also, my doctor wants to put me on Kevzara and I'll be seeing her next Wednesday. Anyone on that med let me know how you're doing with it!
