If you are a candidate for a biologic you should pursue it. You have been on prednisone quite awhile.
I already have osteoporosis, high blood sugar, and thinned skin so prednisone does not work for me. I am on Kevzara and tapering off prednisone this month. I am hoping for a successful recovery from PMR with the help of these injections.

@caroljeand Thank you - it is good to hear the experiences of others and I'm going to ask if I can be referred to a rheumatologist and see what they can do because I too think that 4 years is a long time even if it has mostly been 5mg and below- and I've already had cataracts done due to the effects of prednisone which is another common side effect!
