Hi, John. Yes, I’m currently on 3 mg of Prednisone, down from 40 when I was diagnosed in January of 2019. Twice before I had flares at 3 and had to go higher, but I’m doing well this time (6 weeks). I’ve had some odd side effects from the medication but PMR is well managed. I’m fortunate. Thanks for reaching out. I just discovered this group after following one in the UK for a year or so.

Hi @pfafpa. I'm happy you are doing well and have not had any flares over the last 6 weeks. You mentioned that you had some odd side effects from Prednisone. My grandfather experienced mood changes and other things, but I'm not sure of his dosage. If you are okay with sharing, what side effects have you experienced?
