Hi John, I have a question for you. During the past week, I have been awakened 3 nights with a leg cramp. Could that be the result of having PMR or taking prednisone? I have to admit that each day, Ihas been a little more active than usual. Maggie

I had left leg. Cramps in the morning for several months before I was diagnosed with PMR. Along with the other pain, neck/shoulder/right arm it was very difficult to get out of bed in the am. After diagnosis with OMR and GCA and 60 mg of prednisone, .pain gone. 7 months later I am finally down to 10 mg!! WhooHoo😊
