I'm glad you feel better at 5 mg. I felt like I had a lot of doses during my taper where I felt better - 40, 20, 12.5, 7, 5, 3, and 2. 5 wasn't too bad, and 3 was better, at least for me.

I just googled what percentage of people with GCA have flares, and it said approximately 34 - 74.5, depending on various factors.

Yeah I hope I can get back down to 3 and that it will keep my PMR and GCA at bay. I could live with that. Good luck.
