Prednisone tapering is challenging. What does remission feel like?

Hi Teri, So good to hear that you are doing well with the tapering. There were times during my first bout with PMR that I wished they made a 1/2 mg table, or a better pill splitter for older folks like me 🙂. My last 6 months was going back and forth between 1 mg and 1/2 mg. Hoping your tapering is a smooth journey!

Hi John, do you remember what your CRP numbers were when you were tapering? Mine went way down on the high dose of Prednisone, .2 from 10.6, but since tapering they've gone up slightly to 1.2. My rheumy still wants to try this taper. I do not have any symptoms so far.
