Tapering prednisone

I decided to suffer a bit with my PMR and tried not to increase, started at 15. Keep active, take some Tylenol is one avenue. All depends on how much it gets in the way of life, like if you can still get out of bed and function. This is going to go on for many months.

I’m tapering and taking a similar approach. I take Tylenol instead of increasing my dose so I can stay on the taper schedule. My doctor did not explain the long term prognosis when I was diagnosed. I had no idea it would be a long journey with many ups and downs. Most of what I’ve learned is from this forum..and a huge thanks to all of you.
