Thanks Jeff, I started at 20mg in December and tapered to my current dose of 12.5. I'm hoping if my blood work shows no signs of higher inflammation that I can just go back to 12.5. My goal has been to get off prednisone this December. PMR is not a fun journey!

Have your GCA symptoms cleared up? Since you're taking prednisone, I'm not sure you can trust the inflammation numbers from blood tests. My GCA was confirmed with a temporal artery biopsy, but ultrasound can also be used.
