@mezack25 You could try going up to 8 or 10 mg for a couple of weeks and then drop back to 5. If you only up the dose for a couple of weeks, you don't have to taper when you drop back down. Hopefully the extra mgs will help. If they do, then you should probably just stay at 5 for the foreseeable future. Most people with PMR need at least 1 to 2 years of medication before the PMR burns out. Some people need to take prednisone more than 2 years, unless they take some other drug like Kevzara.

If you stay on a lower dose of prednisone and you're not able to work out, that isn't good for your osteoporosis either, plus you feel bad much of the time.
