My Rheumatologist says that if you have PMR the re occurrence is very possible unless you go slow and easy with decreasing Pred..if need be you may need to play with it slightly and increase when needed
My CRP 69 at the outset and now down to 5 but I am still on 10 mgs but will take a year before I may or may not be off it even at CRP of 5 still have stiffness very manageable however
