Work with your rheumatologist to sort out your symptoms. It is possible to have PMR presage or morph
into to other rheumatologic diseases.
My treatment taper to complete remission then developed into psoriatic arthritis.
Your inflammatory numbers are quite high so be aware
of the symptoms of temporal arteritis. Discuss the cardiovascular risk of systemic inflammation with your doctors. Mediterranean diet is very important. Keep following the lab numbers. Short answer is why not try 20 mg for a week?
