Hi @naezzo, a lower dosage of prednisone (about 20 mg) is supposed to miraculously make symptoms of PMR disappear, but it's companion disorder, Giant Cell Arteritis (GCA) requires a higher doaage of prednisone. I'm small, 5 ft., about 100 lbs and was put on 40 mg. Did your doctor ask you about scalp tenderness, inability to chew, jaw pain, low energy, a dry cough, vision problems? My PMR kind of left me, but I advanced to symptoms of GCA which can cause blindness or stroke if left untreated.
