How to address PMR pain while decreasing prednisone

Unfortunately, I had an allergic reaction to plaquenil when I tried it years ago. My feet and hands peeled terribly. My skin would just peel off. I hope it works for you, because I know how toxic prednisone can be.

No side effects so far - thank goodness. My ophthalmologist ran all sorts of base line tests, which they say is part of the care of patients on this med. With my low dosage, they didn't seem to be too worried, but want to run annual tests, just to be sure. I'll admit, though, that I do miss the prednisone, as it is the ONLY thing that completely eliminates the pain...
