Yes, when I first started prednisone 20 mg I felt like I was a new person the next day. Hate the side effects. Both myself and primary dr are convinced it is PMR. But he sent me to a rheumatologist who tried to convince us it is RA. I still think it is PMR. Thanks for replying. It helps.

Where are you having pain? PMR affects larger muscle areas like neck, shoulders, upper back, upper arms and hips. RA or any other inflammatory arthritis affects smaller joints like in the hands, feet and knees….
