Wow! that is a long time to have this beast of a disease. I’m trying to taper off of 20mg, tried to go to 17.5 and pain was awful. So went back to 20 and now trying 19 mg. Seems like a long haul. How will i ever get below 10 mg??? My strength is so low... can’t hardly lift 20 lbs dumbbells when use to do 50-55...😐

That is typical with PMR yes you loose your strength I use to bench press 120 lbs & when I came down with PMP it was hard to do 40 lbs now I am back up to 80 lbs don't despair it will get better. Like I had said in my previous post try pull downs.
