New to PMR and worried about Prednisone

Morning everyone.
I got off of my prednisone for 1 week. I was on 1/2 mg before. Well it didn't last. All the pmr pain came bk. I am now on 1 1/2 mg of prednisone. I am not pain free but can manage much better. Don't know what I will try next.
This has been going on for 2 yrs. No remission for me yet, but I am hopeful. When my pain returned it was in my neck and shoulders, but most in the bottoms of my feet, making it hard to walk.
Hope everyone has a good day.

Well don't feel bad, now let me tell you what I tried. I had been on 10 mg of prednisone/day 5mg in the AM & 5mg in the PM. Monday I thought I would reduce it to 5mg a day this turned out to be stupid on my part the pain came back with a vengeance knees, shoulders, neck, wrist & fingers. Not a smart move on my part. Today I will be back on 10mg/day the pain is just to bad. So 1-1/2 that you are taking is not bad at all. Yes they say the PMR will go away by it self so I guess all we can do is grin & bare it & hope for the best.
