Welcome @bobrizzo, It sounds like you are not having any trouble managing your PMR with the prednisone which is great to hear. The PMR Support Group here on Connect has many other discussions that you might also find helpful or interesting if you are looking for more information - https://connect.mayoclinic.org/group/polymyalgia-rheumatica-pmr/.
How long ago were you diagnosed with PMR?

@johnbishop I was diagnosed about 5 months ago after many years of all sorts of pain that I treated with OTC drugs, numerous CBD products, physical therapy, massage and acupuncture. It’s been an ongoing battle for a few years. After a MRI and numerous other drugs my “new” primary care Dr a PRM did bloodwork and suggested a round of prednisone which immediately changed the picture - now slowly getting off prendisone w/ the help of Kevzara - so far so good had third shot last week
Tapering 2 mg/ wk now at 10mg from 12mg - still some unexplained pain in shoulders and legs ….
