I'm a retired pharmacist but medical care in the usa has deteriorated a lot in the last few decades. Hospitals and drug manufacturers run by mbs's instead of medical people advancing is the biggest problem in my opinion.
I think your problem as mine is best addressed by very slow tapering. I'm beginning to think the body is causing symptoms from steroid withdrawal as much as pmr.

We are seeing the same thing here in Australia, we used to have a world class health care system but it has gone to hell in the last 10 years and deteriorated much faster after the Pandemic started. Medical professionals are saying they have no faith in the integrity of the health care sytem and are leaving the profession in large numbers, hospitals can't cope and medical error is rife. In Queensland, where I live, the health care system has been seriously underfunded for decades, population growth has been massive and infrastructure is strained to the limit. Now we have rolling medication shortages to deal with. I am sad for my grandchildren and what they are facing !
