Welcome @bravo1, Thanks for sharing how you taper. We are all different and it definitely helps when we can share experiences. Wished I would have paid more attention my first time around with PMR that took 3 and half years to get off of prednisone with the last year going back and forth between 1/2 mg and 1 mg until I was finally able to stop taking it with minimal aches when I got up in the morning.

Have you made any lifestyle changes that help?

Hey thanks for the welcome.
Unfortunately the only lifestyle changes have been negative.
Before PMR I was active in sports, did physical labor, was never sick, ride my Harley and was always a happy person.
So now, I've had to limit my physical activities and I'm not the same happy person I was. That's the only lifestyle changes I've had to make. I was on a good diet, and stayed healthy.
I can't even ride my Harley anymore!
Sad but true. I am determined to get back!
