What steroid dosage did you start on? Did you find the right dosage?

Welcome @naparker, I've had 2 occurrences of PMR and I was started on 20 mg of prednisone for both. Here's some information from 2019 on the topic.
What is the starting dose of steroid prescribed by rheumatologist in the management of polymyalgia rheumatica?

Do you still have pain with taking the 30 mg dose?

Thank you for this information, John. While I do continue to have some pain, it is likely due to ongoing osteoarthritis which the onset of PMR pain overlayed. The pain is definitely much less than before starting the prednisone.
