PMR to RA?

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.

Oh I’m sorry to hear that.
What dose prednisone did you start on and for how long?
This is all new to me. My inflammation came down immediately on the 4 mg, I’m wondering if that’s rare and if I actually have PMR. Everything I read says that people start on such a high dose. I guess I’m lucky that I was controlled at such a low dose. I hate the fact of being on this medication, but I don’t like the symptoms when I’m not on it. Thank you for your time.
I hope you find some good results when you go to the clinic
