Your journey sounds similar to mine. I have weaned down to three mg of prednisone for the third time, then the flare ups start. Last appt my CRP way up again. Didn't seem to matter if on five or four mg still same pain so agreed to take 15mg of Meloxicam for a month and repeat blood test. Pain was at minimal and inflation markers down. So she decided probably pain is my osteo arthritis and reduce dosage or use as needed with Meloxicam; still continue my reduction in prednisone for PMR. So after all that still have pain and weakness and no answers of why inflammation. Now I've encountered a new problem... My skin had become sensitive to touch. Its uncomfortable to even have a shirt on as it had the sensation you get when you've had a sunburn and fabric is rubbing against it. PMR is very mysterious and always throwing a new curve at you. @pampep

Interesting comment re sensitivity of your skin @pampep. Prior to my diagnosis of PMR the backs of my hands became sensitive at irregular intervals and it was like someone running a knife across my hands. Your analogy of sunburn is probably closer than mine in retrospect. It disappeared after going onto Prednisolone but in the last week have started to notice it coming back but not everyday and doesn’t last long and at the moment only on the back of my left hand.
