@laura1970 I don't know if this is the reason I don't have so many problems, but I am a championship tennis player and exercise excessively.

It is nice to see contributions by medical professionals to this forum. I was fortunate as a nurse to take care of patients on prednisone and also to be a patient on prednisone. I saw all the side effects of prednisone on patients almost daily.
I was grateful to my nursing coworkers who saw my side effects from prednisone. They seemed concerned and were always asking me how much prednisone I was taking. Most of my coworkers never heard of PMR but they knew all about prednisone.
