Some people would say a rapid response to Prednisone confirms the diagnosis of PMR. This may be true if all the other diagnostic possibilities have been ruled out. However, there are literally hundreds of conditions that may respond rapidly to Prednisone.
You have been M.I.A. lately. How are things going?

yes. Thanks for asking. My wife passed in Nov. I have been a 4 year caretaker. I had hoped the added stress would not flare my PMR. It appears not. I believe her health and my getting the covid shot contributed to my PMR. I developed a shooting pain in the nerve at the top of right hip joint. But I have been able to maintain without steroids. So my supply of dexamethasone has dried up. Although I have stockpiled quite a bit. I might need to move to a grief share site. 🙂
