Hang in there I remember being only able to sleep about 1 hour per night because of the muscle pain from PMR. I sat and cried every night for 2 months until finally the fifth Doctor I saw finally put me on prednisone. I am glad to say PMR started in August of 2025 and as now I have been tapered off prednisone for 98 days and tolerating a very manageable pain level mostly around 2-3AM. My grandfather and his sister had PMR in the 1980's and prednisone was the only option then. Best wishes moving forward. Bill

@bkearbey1 Very encouraging reply - nice to hear you are tapered off!
So sorry you had to go so long without getting prednisone.
I'm looking forward to getting where you are.
In the meanwhile, taking some great suggestions from this forum, and feeling encouraged.
