I was dx with RA in 2011 and PMR in December on 2018. I also have normal SED and C reactive protein. I started on 20 mg prednisone with almost immediate pain relief. I am down to 7.g at this time.

Thanks for your reply. My response to prednisone was immediate. I had been treated with it sporadically for systemic tendonitis and bursitis and by injection for rotor cuff tears. No one connected the dots with PMR. l am at ll mg from 20 mg initially about 45 days ago. It is amazing to be able to move.
