I have had PMR for a year and a half and have never taken prednisone or any other steroid, so my experience might help: I have never had insomnia or brain fog or shaking anywhere. I have had pain in my hands but not swelling.

I’ve been immediately “diagnosed” with PMR based on uncrushable shoulders, arms and girdle pain.Has been prescribed prednisone and two others drugs that supposed prevent bone lost. Though the diagnose isn’t straight forward in the medical society and I’ve never experienced such a body painful conditions, I decided hold off the medication and get to learn this disease first.
If it’s muscles and join inflammation, than I believed the cortisone injections, that I was doing for my hip, might help. Therefore, I have started to do injections to shoulders joins ( one at the time) It helped to all body system . I don’t “fly”( at 86) but able slowly and surely to take care for myself!! No shakes, no headaches, no brain fogs.
My leg swollen from anti arrhythmic drug .I never sleep good, but with magnesium 200 can sleep 6-7 hr
intermediately . So far I stick with that routine. Will see what will happened next 😜
