@lhk2 I'm a bit surprised you weren't started on a higher dose of prednisone. Has your doctor mentioned when you will start tapering down?

@charlie24 Thanks for the reply. I wasn't diagnosed by a rheumatologist, rather by another doc I was referred to due my pain. He suspected PMR and had blood drawn and while I was waiting for results he put me on 15mg. I just set up an appointment with a rheumatologist for three days from now and I'll see what he prescribes and discuss tapering with him.
