PMR with normal labs and having severe thigh pain

Thank you for your prompt response. I will take your advice and experiment with dosage. It's so frustrating - while at the same time painful.. Truly stops me in my tracks... No one has ever addressed adrenal insufficiency with me, but it certainly makes sense. Just wondering how long it take (on average) to regain the lost cortisol from the prednisone. Suppose everyone is different.

Yes. everyone is different. PMR has a way of uncovering other hidden diseases. Length of time and dosage are important. The subject has been discussed a lot. If you participate on any other sites you will see comments all the time about a PMR flare. PMR does not have to be the big bad wolf. Its a much better autoimmune disease than say RA. Prednisone however is a big bad wolf. This site has plenty of experts into prednisone and adrenal insufficiency. Google that comment. Dadcue went 12 years on prednisone. The problem can become that the pain from AI can prevent you from ever getting off prednisone. Some can not get their adrenal system to restart.
