I have had PMRFor Six months. I am now down to 7mg of Prednazone reducing by every two weeks. I still wake up in lots of pain every morning. Is this normal. I started out at 35 mg, and the pain is always there. I also take two Tylenol in the morning .

I am in much the same situation. But I’m tapering slower. I started at 20 mg four months ago and now at 9 for three weeks.
Painful mornings but I’ll stay on schedule as I’m anxious to get off Pred.
But you might go a bit slower also.
