You're welcome, @wv54. I told my rheumatologist that there is nothing like the pain of PMR. I felt like I was wearingt an astronaut suit of pain and stiffness from the neck down. The proper dosage of Prednisone is supposed to make symptoms disappear - some refer to it as miraculous. I hope you are getting good medical care.

My RA is young BUT very thorough -- I was down to 5 mg of prednisone -- last visit I mentioned pain now in my hips and tops of both legs -- prednisone was increased to 7.5 mg -- got a feeling it will be increased again ?? -- my RA had the temple biopsy done as a precaution -- came back negative ----- the RA did mention increased cases of PMR in our area
