Reducing stress in your life in whatever ways that you have control over, trying to eat food as if it were your only medication and not just for comfort and taste appeal, getting outside for as walks, jogs, bike rides at as vigorous pace that you are comfortable with. I'm 65 was hit with full case of PMR 2 months ago, down to 12.5 Prednisone and trying to deal with the mood fluctuations and early waking. mybodymindconnection.net

Hello @mpstetson1, Welcome to Mayo Clinic Connect, a welcoming online community where patients and caregivers share their experiences, find support and exchange information with others. You offer some sound and great advice for whatever ails you, including PMR. You sound like you are doing great with tapering down on the Prednisone since it's only been 2 months since the PMR treatment was started.
Did you start at 20 mg dose of Prednisone? Do you keep a daily pain scale and dosage log to record how you are feeling each day and what dosage you are at?
