Hi my name is Kim. I have recently, about 6 months been diagnosed with PMR. My c reactive protein was 89. I started out on 15 mg of prednisone and take 200 mg twice a day of hydroxclorquin. I am now taking 8 mg of prednisone but still have arm, chest and neck pain, especially in the morning. I hate to go up again with the prednisone. Is there anything else that I could try to get off the steroids? I know long term they are not good for you. I am 66 years old. Thank you, that it is go great to connect with others.
