No, not yet. I do feel tired and a bit “disconnected”, but that might just be Christmas and all that comes with a big family at this time of year. I feel confident at the moment, that I might be able to get down to 10mg without too much trouble. From what I have read, it seems to be most difficult from there.

@jules11 I also get disconnected a bit through the holidays with all that is going on with family and friends and trying to stay on top of it. For me it's probably due to my age (☺ older than dirt). Good luck with the tapering. One of the things that has helped me was to live with a little pain during the taper and to not jump back up to the previous dosage if I wasn't absolutely pain free. I think it got harder for me when I got between 10 mg and 5 mg. I went to using 1 mg pills so I could go down by one when necessary. I also got good at splitting the 1 mg pill when I had trouble going between 1 mg and off.

Good luck! Hopefully your PMR will go into remission sooner than later.
