i am an active 80 year old man who started with pmr in march 2025 after having started to take a statin for the first time in january 2025.
prednisone:
i am on 10 milligirams daily. Rheumatologist then reduced it to 5 mg. The immobility started to return, so i was returned to 10 mg.

It seems most rheumatologists are tapering 1mg a month until at 5mg. Then dropping .5 milligrams a month until hopefully we are done. If at any time problems occur just go back to previous dose. Wishing you well.
