Just curious if you were on prednisone and if so, how long did it take for you to go into remission? I’ve been told that it could be anywhere from a year to two years to be on prednisone. I feel like my PMR is a very mild case because I was started at a very low dose of 4 mg of prednisone and that worked for me. It immediately took my pain away. I’ve been pain free and I’ve been on prednisone since December. I just started tapering down slowly and continue to be pain-free. I’ve dropped the 4mg completely and I am now teetering between 2mg and 3 mg right now, mostly 2 mg with a 3 mg thrown in every now and then. I haven’t had any pain and I’ve been doing this taper for a couple of weeks now. I see my rheumatologist next week and then I will begin to taper from 2 mg to 1 mg and drop the 3mg completely. I’m wondering if I could already be in remission even though it’s only been five months. I’m wondering if this diagnosis is even the right one for me. I never had to go above 4 mg of prednisone and everything. I read from others, everyone has started at such a high dose and then tapered down. I’ve never had to go above 4 mg to control my pain.
