My pmr shows itself in my shoulders and neck. I have been on prednisone for about 15 months now and am currently at 4 1/2 mgs daily. I walk. I walk a minimum of 5 miles every day and if my schedule allows it I have walked up to 9 miles a day. I feel really good at the moment and am tapering slowly. Have considered starting back with my weights but think I will hold off on that a bit.
