I have been on Prednesone for 7 years for PMR. The dose is low now 2mg daily but can’t seem to stay off of Prednesone without PMR symptoms. I don’t mind taking it as it has been a miracle drug for me. No PMR pain for the entire 7 years. It is recommended to take it in the morning but I take it at night and no trouble sleeping. People without PMR act alarmed about Prednesone, but quality of life is more important than being on a drug that others worry about. Best wishes in your PMR journey. I hope you have symptom relief and virtually no side effects.
