@dswilson913 and all... A fast taper has never worked for me, in the last 40 years. But, some people have fewer issues tapering off Prednisone than others. If your doctor thinks that is best. then perhaps it will work. Having anything other than shoulders and hips involved has not been my experience.

I am not a medical person. I am a patient with PMR like you and others on this site. I have no idea if both feet hurting is a PMR symptom. If so, then I will say I've had PMR for years and never knew. Both feet, both hands, both wrists, both knees... Only PMR diagnosis when I was hit with enormous pain in both shoulders and both hips. Enormous. Debilitating. Excruciating pain.

Perhaps other PMR patients have other stories. That is mine. Only high dose of Prednisone over a long period of time tapering worked for me and had to hold at 10 mg for over a years before going back up to 20 mg last May with hip and leg paralysis. Total paralysis below the hips.

You must consult with your doctor and be open, forthright and clear about your concerns, your questions, your fears. Otherwise, you will continue to be stuck in the horrid health never-land with questionable diagnosis and poor oversight and lack of treatment.

Wishing you well as you tackle this challenge. Blessings, Elizabeth
