Anyone successfully treating PMR without Prednisone?

@nm11643 Hello! I was 102 lb. until Prednisone. Now at 109. Heavier people laugh that I complain about my waistline! But it all goes to the belly, right? Of real concern, as smaller people, is bone deterioration. I already have osteopenia. My upcoming DEXA test will give me more information after 9 months on this devil drug. I was diagnosed with Fibromyalgia a number of years ago. All I know for sure is that I hurt constantly!! I am currently on 5 mg of the Prednisone. Reducing this low, I still hurt.

@prettypatti76 I feel your pain. I was 110Ib before PMR, down to 103Ib at on set of PMR. Now it is back to 110lb. I do not worry too much about my waistline. It is my drooping eyelids made me sad. That was another curse from that devil drug. I try to do yoga and walking to keep myself fit. Prednisone pulled me into osteopenia category. At least I can live without prednisone now. Best wishes for your speedy recovery.
