I am currently taking 15 mg MT once per week starting 4/1/25 with folate once per week as well. I was on 3-4 mg prednisone that I had tapered down from 20mg in July 2022 when I was first diagnosed. I am starting to see results with less shoulder and hip pain! I am tapering to 2 mg of prednisone now and doing well. I will say the brain fog has been difficult and scary but I have been powering through and it seems to be dissipating. I am very hopeful I may actually get off prednisone, finally. It has been a long journey with many twists and turns. I can’t tell you how refreshing it is to not wake up in horrible pain. I was resistant to taking this medication as I am a wine drinker and I feared the worst for my liver. I had my first blood panel at the 7 week mark and it was the best it had been since being diagnosed with PMR. Fingers crossed this continues and improves. I wish all here the best, peace and grace walking through this disease. I hope we all find remission and a pain free tomorrow.

I have been on it since early Feb and have had only one issue - I had to give up all alcohol due to acid reflux. Don't love that part but it's only until I kick this PMR completely. And in the meantime I have no pain just occasional stiffness. I have been able to titrate down from 20 to 10 mg over the course of 5 months.

I have good days and bad days I wish I knew why
