I am on 10mg predisone twice a day. Today was told to taper off to 15 mg once a day. In 2 weeks the rheumatologist wants me to reduce it again by 5 mg so I will be down to 10. She’s going to gradually get me off the prednisone altogether. Can’t wait. I’m also on once a month IV drip of Tamara. Today she said it will be for two years. Best of luck to everyone in this group. I can’t wait to continue to read your comments. It’s very helpful to me.!

@laurenand typo in my comment. I meant Actemra IV drip once a month for 2 years. It seems to be the norm for PMR

Thanks. Very pleased to hear your rheumatologist is aiming to get you off prednisone completely. Seems to be the goal for most. Good luck with the tapering. I am currently down to 2mg from 15mg I feel achey and tired for about a week after tapering and then come good. I’m learning to take it extra easy for that week.
