It might help you to know my experience. PMR diagnosed late January 2021. 40 mg.prednisone one week, then 20 one week, then 10. 5 mg March, 4 mg April, 3 mg May, 2 mg June and July, now 1 mg. I always worry way too much. Rheumatologist assured me blood tests were great. Sed rate only 3 recently. I'm 76 BTW. Tender forehead due to hot weather and Prednisone making scalp oily and pimples. Vision problems of more pronounced "floaters" due to age are normal. Mucous in eyes recently due to fall hay fever season beginning. I always worry too much, don't do that, but check with your doctor's when you have concerns.

BTW ... I'm personally convinced that my PMR was caused by anxiety, tension, retirement, lack of exercise, too much following political news, and too much playing with this damn smart phone 🙂

prednisone makes me nuts.....can't take it.
