I am on my 13th month of battling PMR. (Male, 71, no other major illnesses) Like you I started at 15mg Prednisone and tomorrow I will taper down to 1mg Prednisone. The journey was filled with ups & downs from both a mental aspect (the impact of Prednisone) to physical ailments (such as I developed carpal tunnel and my rheumy had me wear wrist braces, and in two weeks it was gone). The pains have indeed traveled throughout my body, but in the long run they settled in on my shoulders & hips. My last major flare was about 8 weeks ago but went away after a day of rest (no change in my prednisone taper schedule). I continue to have aches & minor pains, but when I think back to the original attack in Nov. 2023, I feel so blessed where I am in the battle against PMR. My CRP & ESR numbers have been normal since July, but by no means did that mean I was pain or ache free. I, like most, have had the love/hate relationship with Prednisone (mostly hate) but hopefully in a month it will be in my past. Again, I do continue to have 'manageable' aches and some minor pains, but what I feel has been the turning point is that over the past three weeks my 'grunting, groaning, and yelling ouch' factor has just about disappeared. This Mayo Clinic group has been a blessing to me! The times I was confused or didn't understand what I was experiencing, I found it so comforting (and educational) to read through these threads and get insights from folks who were living the nightmare along with me. To all I wish you the best and hopefully you can enjoy this holiday season.
