PMR to RA?

Can I ask you how long you were on prednisone for your PMR? I was recently diagnosed with PMR and they stored at me at a very low dose of prednisone being 4 mg. It has worked for me and relieved my pain almost instantly. I went to my rheumatologist last week after being on 4 mg for three months and I asked if I could have it lowered and they lowered it to 2 mg. So far so good, I don’t feel any pain with the 2 mg but it’s only been three days since they lowered it. I was just wondering how long before your PMR went into remission? Like I said, I’ve only been on prednisone for three months, but I think that I had PMR for at least 3 to 4 months before I start the prednisone. Could it be that my PMR is already going into it remission in less than a year? I haven’t seen any one talk about their PMR going into remission that fast.

Hello! I was on prednisone for several years. I was weaned off for about the last 6-9 months but am having an exacerbation. Ugh. Am actually scheduling a Mayo Clinic apt.
