I agree with art43. It would be impossible to get to 2mg pain free if the PMR is still active. Mine lasted 6 months and I feel mine went into remission fairly quickly. PMR can stay active for years in some.

How did you know that your PMR was in remission after six months? I started being treated in December and my rheumatologist started me at a low dose of 4 mg of prednisone. I never had to go any higher as that dosage took away all my pain. I feel like my PMR is a mild case. Just wondering how you knew your PMR was in remission and how soon after diagnosisyou started tapering down.
