Hi @dreamer38, I'm 76 and even though my PMR is in remission I have the same concerns as yourself and other members of our age group. I think it's prudent for us elderly folks to take extra care of ourselves. We have a new health group on Connect to help members get through the COVID-19 pandemic with many discussions to answer your questions, as well as share with and support other Connect members. If you don't find a discussion that answers your questions, please feel free to start a new discussion. Here is a link to the new COVID-19 health group and a list of the discussions in the group:

Thanks so much, John. Since writing the above, I now have PMR in my hands and wrists. Rheumy put me back up to 20 mg from 2 mg, but just for a week!! Pain is much better. Apparently, with Pred this high, one cannot venture outside during COVID-19.
