Putting too much faith in the idea that in two years the pmr would go away gave me a somewhat frivolous attitude. That was in Jan of 2019. Since then, what I thought would be 'follow the taper schedule and be done', just did not happen.
The only 'handouts' at the Dr.'s office I received were on methotrexate and fosamax. Nothing about inflammation, exercise or diet.
In all this time I've only come across one person who also has pmr and his cardiologist got him off the prednisone before he was 'hooked' on it.
