Does anyone else feel isolated and misunderstood?

It’s my understanding and my experience that prednisone works within hours. If you haven’t gotten relief after 3 days I would think your dosage is insufficient or your diagnosis is incorrect. Sorry to muddy the water but it’s worth re-evaluation imo

@alissahe You are correct. I was started on 20 mg and within an hour all pain was gone. I have read that if you don’t get fast relief (maybe a day or two) then you probably don’t have PMR or your dose isn’t strong enough.
