I was diagnosed with PMR in September 2021. I am currently taking 10 mg of prednisone. I have experienced muscle spasms and twitching since the beginning. These have not been painful and occur only when I am lying down.

I have been struggling to reduce my prednisone intake below 10 mg. Recently I spent 3 miserable weeks when I reduced to 9 mg. I was in pain along with fatigue and brain fog. In the third week I discovered this chat group and it has been extremely helpful. The mention of importance of quality of life over speedy withdrawal of prednisone rang very true for me. An earlier post discussed reducing by alternating a current dose with a reduced dose and gradually increasing the days between the two. I began doing this a few days ago but it is too soon to know if it is helpful for me.
