Diagnosed PMR 2017, can I get off prednisone?

@katrinabradley Thanks for the feedback. I’ve come across a PMR group member that provided a prednisone tapering schedule by 1/4 mg increments. I’ve adjusted it for a more conservative reduction per week. Hope to be prednisone free by January 2027.

@sikesrunner I would like to be in contact with the prednisone reduction program.
I'm on 10mg daily and when i reduce to 5 I can't function-so what is the proper reduction schedule? I have been on 10mg daily for about 2 months for bronchial spasms as I have COPD from the pneumonia from COVID.
