@boomermeg when are you taking the prednisone morning or evening. If you take it at night you will have issues sleeping!

Hi. I take mine early, try for 7:30am.
Only time I tried at 1pm was for a split per Dr to see if it covered remaining pain/symptoms for left shoulder arm and upper back especially waking me up w pain.
(first split 4pm,as I didn't know, of course, big mistake).
I only take it early am.
I just saw yesterday someone said it worked best for them to take just before bed! I don't think that'd work for me but I've never tried it.
It seems like everyone's PMR can be different, just as our responses to Prednisone, or any medication, are.
Thanks for mentioning timing.
