Very new to PMR

I've been splitting my daily dose into EARLY morning (anywhere between 3-5 am ... when I get up to pee) which seems to really help the cyclic morning stiffness/pain. This is physiologic... PMR symptoms parallel the adrenal circadian cycle. I've got 5 mg pills, so take 10 mg in the early morning and 5 mg around 12 hr later.

Yes ... I did the same thing. Never mind PMR symptoms. I came to the conclusion that it was my body's way of telling me it needed some cortisol since my adrenals weren't producing any.

Honestly, I didn't know what my body was trying to tell me but I knew I had to give it something.
