I have to say that when I started to take prednisone (30mg initially) my symptoms went away. As I mentioned a shoulder injury prevented my usual exercising (working out and yoga) but I was still able to walk 3-4 miles 5x per week. When my shoulder healed in September I could then do yoga and mild workouts. I never have experienced a flare. Since June 1, 2024 I am OFF PREDNISONE). I will say that when I was between 1-2 mg of prednisone I did have some joint aches (knees and hips) but not enough to call a flare. My rheumatologist said I might experience some discomfort at this point but it would eventually cease. My husband and I just returned from a dude ranch with our 10 year old granddaughter. We rode everyday and I did not have any issues (thanks goodness). I am not ready to say I am finished with PMR, who is! However, life is good right now so Carpe Diem. I think movement is essential no matter how little you can do. Good Luck🐎🐎
