@vvlaraia That's good to know if I ever need to take methotrexate. How long did it take for you to taper off to zero?
I'll be 84 in November so I'm not worried about getting off prednisone. I'm more interested in quality of life for what time I have left.

@retiredphil 6 months on Prednisone after PMR diagnosis. I don't want to jinx myself but like I said, I'm fine currently and no PMR pain. I eat very healthy and exercise/walk. I'm 71 so I do have other normal age aches and pain not related, and I continue to stay active. With the methotrexate, my rheumatologist at the time (years ago and replaced a retired one I had) reviewed labs/tests and ordered me off that med right away. I had no issues then.
