I’m just wondering how old most of you are with PMR

I was diagnosed with PMR 11 years ago when I was 66yrs old. I still have it as every time I taper to 3mg, I get a flare up and have to go back to 10mg. Very occasional I have managed to get down to 2 1/2mg but flare up soon after. Very frustrating. I have tried the dead slow method, I'v also tried by staying on a comfortable dose for longer periods (2months) before reducing. Nothing works.

I was on Prednisone for about the same amount of time. The dead slow method didn't work for me either. I wasn't able to get down to 3 mg without some assistance from a steroid sparing medication. Have you tried any of those? They are used so that you can reduce your Prednisone dose easier.
