A couple days this past week I took 4.5 mg instead of 5 but yesterday and today I took the 5 mg. Getting my markers tested tomorow, hoping for normal results. My dilemma now is whether to stay on 5mg til Aug appt or alternate back and forth with 4.5 for awhile.
Thanks for the input from everyone here with their experiences. I guess my goal is to get off pred without having to take another med except reasonable amount of Tylenol

CRP was elevated. 7.5
Normal is less than 5
Guess I'm staying at 5 mg til Aug appt
Only problem seems to be Achilles tendonitis, not pmr
