Hi Bethog28, Can you describe RMD? Do you mean Rhythmic Movement Disorder?

Sorry!<br>I made a mistake - I meant PMR or Polymyalgia Rheumatica...<br>

Thanks for the correction. I moved your messages to this existing discussion about PMR (Polymyalgia Rheumatica). I think you'll appreciate connecting with @jasonkwellls @johnbishop and @charlena. They can share their experiences with predisone with you.

Hello @bethog28 - I would talk with your doctor and ask them for a titration schedule to try and get off the prednisone. It took me over a year to get off prednisone for my first episode of PMR which was from 2007 to 2010. I got to where a 1/2 mg tablet would get rid of the pain and went back and forth from 1 mg to 1/2 and have to go back to 1 mg after a couple of days until finally I could do 1/2 mg and then stop taking it. My. PMR was in remission until a month or so ago and I started taking 20 mg prednisone which got rid of the pain. I am titrating down again and currently at 15 mg. Hopefully you can get off and your PMR will go into remission for a long, long time. Good luck...
