Mainly a physical exam by a great rheumatologist and blood tests along with SED rate and CRP tests. Within hours of taking 20mg prednisone the pain was gone.

My PMR appears to be back after 5 years according to my rheumatologist. I was started on 20. can you tell me the best time of day to take the Prednisone, also will the prednisone raise my blood pressure. I won't see my rheumatologist for a month to get more questions answered.
