Yes, I did it back in 2015. Though, I'm not sure you would call it successful. I did. The PMR roared back, but I'd gained 90 lbs by then, so I just had to do it. It turns out it the weight gain was going to kill me. So, getting off the Prednisone was lifesaving. It also was putting me on the road to going blind. I've had to have 3 laser eye surgeries for the Glaucoma the Prednisone caused. And my eyes have to be checked many times a year now, to catch it, and treat it. Going off meant just reducing it as slowing as I possibly could. I mean by using 2 mg Prednisone tabs at the end. I also used Pain Management's services to endure the pain and they, of course, always gave me the lowest possibly hydrocodone with Tylenol. AND steroid shots into whatever joints hurt the worst. The amounts (I was told) of steroids injected, is small and localized so they don't act like when we ingest it body-wide. See if you can get in with Pain Management? One caution. While all this was happening, and during the going off, as well as after (big time) every prescriber told me, automatically, to take Ibuprofen or wrote script for prescription NSAIDs. So, that was most of the time from 1992 to now. Turns out, doing that has harmed my kidneys and some of those prescribers knew it. I gotta get over that. Don't let them do that to you. Watch it yourself via your labs, or better yet, have your doctors do it.
