@milld835, I have no medical training or background but if it were me, I would definitely talk with my rheumatologist or primary care doctor about your symptoms. If you also have Giant Cell Arteritis (GCA) along with PMR you want to make sure it's being treated. A lot of the symptoms you mentioned having are listed with the condition here - Giant cell arteritis - Symptoms and causes - Mayo Clinic: https://www.mayoclinic.org/diseases-conditions/giant-cell-arteritis/symptoms-causes/syc-20372758

Both my primary care doctor and my rheumatologist asked me specifically about symptoms relating to jaw pain, pain around the temples, vision problems, scalp tenderness, headaches and more. I would contact your doctor as soon as possible.

I agree John and I've since contacted his office this morning. Correction: I am on 20 mg of Prednisone, not 40. Thanks so much for your reply.
