"Dr. Spiera suggested that clinicians consider that PMR is not organ or life threatening, and its disease flares are manageable." "...he advised clinicians to plan a rapid glucocorticoid taper (to zero by month four)".
Flares with fast tapers are "manageable"? How, mate? By raising the dose of steroids again and increasing the cumulative dose? Not keen on that idea.

HI @megz ha ha -- I went back to the webinar and that is what he ( Dr Sattui) said , some patients can manage the fast taper. I wrote down that at about minute 57 is when he begins to mention the aggressive taper.
