I have had PMR for 8 months, I started with 10 mg of Predisione daily when I went from 8 to 7 daily, my symptoms in the morning are un bearable until I take the 7 around 10 am and by noon felling better. But lately the weakness and stiffness is also in my swollen hands and fingers which are new. By noon can bend fingers without much difficulty but still swollen.

My recent flare up now presents as bi-lateral Dactilytis (sausage fingers). Very painful at times, unable to make a fist and often unable to use my hands. I understand it is another auto immune response and dactilytis alone does not show up as increased inflammatory markers. Ice, gentle mobility exercises and compression gloves have helped me. Let your doctor know…💞
