PMR - Decreased prednisone and pain returned
Polymyalgia Rheumatica (PMR) | Last Active: 1 day ago | Replies (63)Comment receiving replies
I am presently taking daily, in split dosage, 7.5mg. I am carefully monitoring myself, but have to say to myself, "every pain in your body is not necessarily caused by PMR." I do have osteoarthritis in my lower back/hips and somewhat in my hands. I had a restless night last night, my tendency was to think caused by PMR. However, it could have been that I had a very lazy afternoon reading for hours, and was already rested. So will continue on the usual dosage, not "up" it.

HiNoosat1 this,is Beryl……I have the same things as you …..I know we are all different and this may not work for but if I hurt in the way you describe and I take an over the counter drug it will not take the pain of the PMR away …..this may or may not help you but I thought I would say it in case you found it helpful……Beryl
