Thanks for your response and links. Based on my short time as a PMR patient and members shared experience, it seems that tapering alone may not be enough to beat PMR.

Prednisone does not cure PMR. It just keeps pain and inflammation at bay while our bodies try to overcome PMR. Any healthy lifestyle changes and dietary improvements we make can only help. Cutting way down on carbohydrates/sugar, ditching processed foods and additives and keeping moving through the day are all good.
