@tweetypie13 Hello -- I want to bump this suggestion, because it is one of the few things -- other than splitting my Prednisone dose -- that worked for me.

The ARTHRITIS time-release formula taken just before bed definitely helped me with the morning pain.

The difference between 5-level pain and 3.5-level pain provided by the time-release Tylenol makes a few more sleep minutes possible during those painful morning hours.

My Garmin watch was giving me sleep quality ratings in the high-20s and low-30's (extremely poor) since the PMR hit. Last night I got an 87 sleep with 0 pain (maybe a 1 in my left shoulder) thanks to Prednisone and Tylenol Arthritis formula.
