Hi @skiing, Welcome to Connect. My PMR is currently in remission and I always have a little stiffness in the morning. Once I get up and moving a little it gets better and I don't have any pain. I'm scheduled to get my Pfizer booster vaccine in 2 weeks. Do you have any pain with the stiffness in the morning?

John thank you for your reply I just joined. I am stiff to varying degrees in different spots each morning usually left groin where this started and hamstrings some thickness in my head from time to time did have some head throbbing before. But not now. I take my prednisone with food at about 6 am 10 mg now and it takes about 5 hrs to remove all discomfort I believe I am on the slow release prednisone is it normal to have this amo7nt of delayed reaction each day will this change as I reduce my dosage?
