@sue16833 - Reoccurrence is common but each of us are different and no one really knows. I have a good friend about my age that was diagnosed about the same time as myself in 2006-2007 and he was able to get off of prednisone within a year and has not had another occurrence of PMR. I took 3-1/2 years to taper off the first time and it came back for me 6 years later in mid 2016. I was able to taper off in about 1-1/2 years the second time but I had made some lifestyle changes and was eating healthier and exercising more which I think helped me a lot.
Good luck on tapering and remember it's better to taper slowly.
