I have all the symptoms of PMR for the past six months, started at 20 mg prednisone and have all the awful side effects. Have had 3 sets of labs, pelvic cat scan, bone density test coming up, and am tapering prednisone currently at 9mg. Woke up this morning with very painful stiff wrists, hands and fingers and tired. So depressing.
Had trouble swallowing and had upper endoscopy to dilate the esophagus....good result.

Welcome @lindabc, You mentioned having all of the symptoms of PMR but didn't say you were diagnosed with PMR. It can be depressing waking up with painful stiff wrists and hands. There are quite a few conditions that can mimic PMR, have you seen a rheumatologist?
