Hi Naezzo, this is a very new diagnosis for you. I'm glad you found the PMR group so early in your journey. The members here have a lot of experience and are very generous with their knowledge, including sharing their experiences with prednisone, what dosages work, when and how to taper or increases in dosages helped or were advised.

You'll notice that I moved your post about your current dosage and lack of relief from symptoms to this existing discussion:
- PMR, Prednisone Dosages and Managing Symptoms: https://connect.mayoclinic.org/discussion/pmr-dosages/

I did this so you can read previous posts and connect easily with members like @tsc @ncgal @maryft @sandiw77 @kmeikle1 @juneh @aspine and many others who understand.

Naezzo, while you only recently diagnosed with PMR, have you been living with the symptoms for a while? Are you in the care of a rheumatologist?
