I did not go on steroids. And so far, very glad I didn't. My pain started in Jan '24 and my legs for the last few months has been much, much better. Arms are still painful, but I've been walking every other day and even doing strengthening as before with very light weights. So far, so good.
I have my inflammation markers checked every 4 mos or so. Last week, they were extremely low. Back to pre-PMR levels.
I wish you the best.

Good and bad news. My lab results indicate I don't have this diagnosis which is fantastic. However, my doctor doesn't know what I have. She suggested I go ahead with the Prednisone as there is most likely inflammation. I declined and I will closely monitor my symptoms. I do appreciate all of your support and wish you well.
