Diagnosed with giant cell arthritis and PMR in November 2023. I had eight months of prednisone therapy. I was believing that my equilibrium problems were caused by the prednisone. I tapered down to zero prednisone in June 2024. I still experience equilibrium problems on and off. I’ve mentioned it to the rheumatologist but he does not seem concerned nor does he seem to have an answer as to why this is happening. Overtime, I have come to believe that the equilibrium issues are just a part of inflammatory PMR. On bad pain days I usually will take an Aleve or ibuprofen…. nothing else. Would love to hear what others think about dizziness, and equilibrium in relation to PMR.

Actually unfortunately there is no answer that’s going to be for everybody as
each. one of us is unique and different. My body has problems with every medication that I took for PMR where other people have no problems at all. If I remember correctly when I was on prednisone that did not agree with me either in the amount over 8 mg I felt very very lightheaded and didn’t even realize why I felt so lightheaded now I realize it. My very best wishes to you going forward!!!
