@tuckerp I don’t think you have to worry. Corticosteroids remain the strongest, fastest acting anti inflammatory medication known to man .
Biologics ( when they work well ) take over & keep the inflammation down after Prednisone has done its initial magic reducing inflammation.
Luckily there are treatment options to use whatever works best for people’s individual responses.
May you , and all , have good relief from PMR no matter how you get there .
