Hi @klpintx, Welcome to Connect, an online community where patients and caregivers share their experiences, find support and exchange information with others. It sounds like you are doing well with tapering down on prednisone. It's not uncommon to have episodes where you have to up the dosage when tapering off of prednisone. My rheumatologist was great in suggestions for tapering and even helped by prescribing prednisone tablets in 1, 2.5 and 5 mg doses so that I could easily taper off in smaller doses to make it easier.
Do you keep a daily log of your dosage and the amount of pain you have when you get up (scale of 1 to 10, etc..)?

I do not. Mainly because I don't feel like I ever have any pain over a 3-4. I find my symptoms (pain??) are more like a day after a severe work-out and my muscles ache. Very uncomfortable, not welcomed and much difficulty in maneuvering, but I know I do not have the pain that I read so much about here. I know that I am very blessed with how my PMR seems to be playing out in my body. I am most grateful!!
