Hello, 2 plus years of PMR and Prednisone. I tapered to zero and lasted 10 days before going back to 5 mg Prednisone and started a rapid taper of 1 mg reduction a week. I started LDN (can’t remember exactly when) and I am now on 3rd day of zero prednisone and feel ok. I can’t know for sure it’s the LDN that helped me taper, but I will stay on LDN as it helps me sleep and seems to have a positive effect on my mood. I may see if 4.5 mg LDN is tolerated in a few weeks. I was motivated to get off Prednisone as it apparently caused tendinosis in hips, knees and shoulders. I like to hike/bike and want to heal. I plan to stay on LDN at either 3 or 4.5 mg.
