I was put on Meloxicam before I was diagnosed with PMR. In preparation to taking prednisone after diagnosis I quit taking the Meloxicam and was surprised at how much it had been helping with the pain. But the prednisone took me from nonfunctional to functional with few side effects. I do not regret it at all. Everyone needs to decide for themselves.

What are ur side effects?

I had a bone density test and my % of falling and breaking a bone went up 50%.

Dizzy all the time - affected my eyesight. On eyes now for the rest of my life.

However I could function well…right now suffering badly as I took myself off prednisone . Trying to figure it all out.

Damned if you do- damned if you don’t. Sad.
