How to address PMR pain while decreasing prednisone

For now I would stay on a dose that you feel good at AND do not change that dose and TAPER down slowly. You will feel better and worry less😉

Hello again, John...I’ve had PMR now for 1.5 yrs and am still on Prednisone...down to 4 mgms ...went down too quickly and PMR returned. Could you please tell me if PMR is a compromised autoimmune disease. Now that the new COVID-19 VIRUS has arrived, do you know if people who have this are being told to stay at home? Especially if they are over 70, which I am! Once again, I thank you for any advice you can give me.

Thank you for your response about tapering down slowly. Right now it seems like that is the only way for me to be able to function. I know I wouldn't be able to do the things I do if I were not on the prednisone. So I guess I should be grateful that I can take a medicine that can help. Thanks again!
