Symptoms after you stop prednisone

The new symptom for me after tapering off prednisone for a couple of months was gelling. That’s when you get up after being still for while (sitting at dinner or in front of the tv, standing at a protest, sleeping all night, riding in the car), it feels like the PMR is back, but then it dissipates and I feel pretty good again. I don’t want to go back on the prednisone as the rheumatologist recommended, because of the loss of bone, skin, and sleep. I’ve been taking ibuprofen twice a day, but it’s not get better. I may try some other over the counter regimens. I do take turmeric and eat sanely, drink very little alcohol. I notice it if I miss a dose of ibuprofen.
