Hello John this is @beryl after twelve years I am in remission and very slowly taking prednisone down. One day five next six mg
I still have pain in my legs but this is from lower back trouble. I had an operation last April and am hoping that in time my pain will go. Hope you are alright and not having too much trouble with pain.

Hi @beryl, Good to hear that your PMR is going into witness protection 😁 12 years is definitely a long time. I have lower back issues also and it makes it harder to walk. I really think I have the start of Bent Spine Syndrome (BSS or Camptocormia). Just have to take each day one at a time.
