Thanks Liz. It's hopeful to hear from people who are on the backside of pred. That stuff, while a life saver to get PMR under control, is also so rough on the body in so many ways! I'm glad to know the aches aren't always a flare. I guess Tylenol is my new friend for a while....

I am down to 3 mg and hope to lower that in a couple of weeks. I still get pain and weakness about 1 hour after taking my Prednisone and need to head for my Advil. I can usually function somewhat normally a couple of hours after taking it. I have also read that this is also the "norm" for a lot of people as I originally thought it was strange.
Any similar symptoms?
