@dreamer38 I’m so sorry, I guess I misled you. I have a brain lesion, not PMR, but tapering the prednisone can be the same. I was on 15mg for about 6 months, then dropped to 14, felt awful so back up to 15 for a few days, then 14 for several weeks, then to 13, again felt awful so back to 14. Today, I’m trying 13 1/2 and we’ll see how it goes! The prednisone just adds to our misery about the disease, doesn’t it? Best of luck to you!
