When I get a new symptom I ask myself if I had anything like that before I got PMR. Is this weakness and heaviness new for you? If so it is likely related to PMR. Feeling worse every day does not sound good. Both times that I got a flare it was pain and symptoms that got worse rather than better with time on the same prednisone dose. I do not change dosage without consulting my rheumatologist. I'm the expert on my body but he has knowledge and experience that I do not have.
