Fast Prednisone taper?

Assuming that your PMR is in remission and the level of inflammation you experience from the PMR is lower than the dose of pred needed, then the remaining issue is how well your adrenal glands are performing. If they are slow to "wake up" from the steroid sleep they have been in, then a faster taper is likey not a good idea and can lead to all sorts of problems as others have suggested on this thread.
