reets70:
Have you had SED and/or CRP testing to see if your PMR is considered to be in remission ? If it is not, I would be questioning why you are tapering at all. Even if it is in remission, dropping 2.5 when below 10 has been reported to cause problems for many patients on here. I would be questioning the size of that drop. Best of luck sorting this out.

My CRP was 11 the last time it was checked. I don’t know what the SED rate is. I’m feeling pretty good on 7.5, but not good enough to say I’m in remission. The mornings are still rough. Is anyone else losing their balance? I’m still doing balancing exercises every day along with stretching exercise and still I can’t walk straight.
