I have been on prednisone for one year now. Started at 50mg and now tapered down to 2mg.
All along I have had a daily glass of wine, 8-10ounces. I think it has helped my pain and lets me relax.
My rheumatologist doesn’t have a problem with it.

Oh, so glad to hear that. I was just responding to another that I was having a hard time giving up my one glass of wine with dinner.
Just living with PMR, newly diagnosed and only having my PCP to work with. Who knows if I will get excepted as a patient of a Rheumatologist. So few in my area and they are swamped with referrals.
I am at 10mg of Prednisone and the plan is decreasing 1mg per month.
