PMR and the taper

Posted by greysky @greysky, 3 days ago

Hello , new to the group 65 years old
I was Diagnosed with PMR 12/28/24 and have been tapering down from 25 mg to 20 to 15 to 12.5 to 10 …about a week on 8 mg of prednisone and the pain is back was hoping it would be better… so my question is with each 1mg drop is the pain going to go away. ? I will not take a higher mg . The side effects from steroids are awful.the pain is awful Im getting discouraged 🫤 Any suggestions or advice, thank you

Interested in more discussions like this? Go to the Polymyalgia Rheumatica (PMR) Support Group.

I had the same thing happen when I dropped to 10mg
My Dr is adding Methoteraxte
To help taper faster. Fingers crossed
