Better to be in some pain or better to up the dose of prednisone?

I'm assuming when the pain stops but not sure. I read where PMR can be cured but I have had for over 2 years and I'm not sure if that's normal. It took 6 doctors to figure out what I had. I have degenerative discs in my neck and a bone spur so that complicated the diagnosis. Honestly, not sure how much the Kevzara helps because I have been on the prednisone at the same time. Will let you all know in September

PMR can last a long time. My brother-in-law has had it for 13 years so far. For some people it just seems to keep going.
