Thank you for your response. I am on an anti-inflammatory diet, mostly Keto Flex 12/3. My BMI is 23. I also have a fairly unstressed lifestyle being retired. I hike or bike most days of the week. I have a loving family and great grandkids. I also practice pain reprocessing therapy. I just don't know what more I can do to improve my condition of PMR and get off of Prednisone. I guess I should be grateful we live at a time where treatment with Prednisone is available. I’ll have to add that to my gratitude practice.

Depending on your inflammatory markers an anti-inflammatory diet many not be enough - thus steroids. I was on them for longer than I wanted - but they were successful. I'm facing a few post-steroids problems so the jury is still out on "was it worth it?".
Without getting into details with you, my suggestion would be to talk to your doctor about a plan to get off steroids. Staying on them is not go for you, so working to get off makes sense to see if you can be successful. I do not believe steroids are my friends, in any way, shape or form. They help, true - but they damage also.
