@dlb3 good to hear you are off all medication. Did you had any pain or flareup and if so how long took this to go away without medication? Thanks!

@ndep I was diagnosed with PMR/GCA November 2023 by June 2024 I was off of prednisone. My rheumatologist helped me with the taper. I did not have any biologic. I did have some pain return at 3 mg. I continue to reduce slowly eventually to zero. I still have occasional pain, but it was manageable by taking ibuprofen or Aleve. I hope this helps. Everybody’s situation is different. I wish you well.
