Thanks for these comments. I am new to this site, beginning my second year of PMR. I started on 20 mg daily and have managed to exercise throughout this awful year. I have been down to 2 1/2 mg every other day for two weeks and I am trying to figure out how to ditch prednisone altogether. I will try breaking these in half and continuing as you described. Wish me luck.
I do think the key to this mysterious condition is to stay mobile and to try to eat well. While I do not swim daily as I once did, I have been getting into a kayak or walking regularly.
