It worked perfectly, and I celebrated each time I went down a mg. Was pain free for 10 weeks. Then 4 days after the second COVID vaccine, PMR came back - very recognizable to me, although my CRP was initially fine. After 1 month, and more blood tests, my Dr. was convinced as I was that PMR had flared up. We tried starting me at 15 mg, but that didn’t do the trick after one week. So, now I’m on 20 for 3 more weeks - and hopefully will begin to taper after that. Maybe only a year this time, instead of 14 months. Slow taper is so important.

Ingot 15mg of pred which i split into 3 x5mg.doses throigh the day. The higher the dose the longer the taper if that makes sense
I notice many hete are started on 20mg taken early in the morning thats one hell of a 0ne of slug of pred. Go steady on your body trust me 15mg works as a starter dose i could hardly walk or lift my arms up. 2 days in no pain no stiffness like a miracle.for me !
