I’m not sure what to expect “under control “, but I’d say mine is definitely not there yet

I think under control means pain free and no stiffness within a few days of starting prednisone. I have been completely pain free during the 8 months that I have been treated, but I started at a very high dose of prednisone for GCA. It sounds like you need a dose of 25 or possibly even 30 mg of prednisone, and would need to stay there for a few weeks to recover from PMR.
