Hello. I was diagnosed with PMR and Prednisone was prescribed. After taking it for about a month and reading about the possible side effects, I asked the rheumatologist to taper me off and to prescribe something else.

She prescribed 15mgs of Metotrexate weekly which was increased to 20mgs. Although I am not totally pain free, I am 85%-90% better than I was in March.

I wish you all the best as you navigate your journey.
