I have PMR and have had difficulty tapering down to 5 mg of Prednisone. My Rheumatologist recently added Meloxicam and I feel great at 5 mg.

@gll104 have you tried tapering down by 1 mg dosages? That helped me taper off once I got down to where I felt good. I'm taking Meloxicam as part of the after medication regime after my knee replacement surgery on April 5th. He gave me about a 3 week supply. Currently I'm taking 7.5 mg in the morning and one in the evening for inflammation.
