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?

Yes Rheumatologist started me at 20mg which took immediate effect, have been reducing by 2.5 every 2-4 weeks and the 12.5 is still effective, but still the restless, early wake ups and mood fluctuactions
