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.

@betsyhase u

I don’t want to give up my wine. I really enjoy it. I feel a lot better after it. I am afraid of going off prednisone though, but I am giving it a go. Presently at 2 mg. Next month 1mg.
I did lose a lot of hair, and am now wearing a wig, which I like! My hair is growing back.
When I first started prednisone a year ago, it was at 50 mg a day!! I felt better within 2 hrs and felt like it was a miracle drug. I felt really good until around 20 mg a day.
I am hoping for the best and just try to keep moving.
