15 mg once weekly. Am tapering prednisone by 2.5 but the next drop will be after 2 months. Once off prednisone, hopefully can start tapering methotrexate. 😕 just fearful of relapse. Was really bad. Needed a 3 day dose of prednisone at 60 mg ,then30 and down.

My first occurrence with PMR I went back and forth between 1 mg and 1/2 mg prednisone and for about six months. Going back and forth weekly until I was able to stay at 1/2 mg dosage. Then I had the same problem going from 1/2 mg to being off. It seemed much easier my second time around with PMR which was about 6 years later.
