Hello @helloshelly7969 - I have PMR and can share that prednisone was the magic pill for me. My first occurrence of PMR over 10 years ago I was put on 20 mg dosage of prednisone and it took me 3 years to taper off. My PMR went into remission for six years and then my PMR came out of remission a year ago last August. I was put back on a dose of 20 mg prednisone which again took care of the pain. I'm now at 5 mg and will trying to lower the dose to 4-1/2 mg next week. The only side effect I have had from the prednisone is some weight gain. The first occurrence it was a real problem for me. The second time around I've learned and changed my eating habits and eat more healthy.

I'm tagging a few other Connect members who have mentioned Humira in their posts - @marylou705, @barens2, @jay_baruch, are you able to share any experience with taking Humira?

John

Thank you for your reply and sharing. My experience so far with Humira seems to be similar to when I started Methotrexate. Fatigue and a little depression has been my experience but hopeful that as with Methotrexate these symptoms will stop in time.

John, I just responded.
