High heartbeat on prednisone

Hi, I was taking prednisone only for first 3 days 15 mg only as a test for PMR. I stopped taking it, I have stiffness in the morning and after sitting for long time, but my SED went down from 43 to 39, and my CRP is normal, so not sure if I have PMR, and hate side effects of prednisone

Hi @malin70, It's not uncommon to have normal SED and CRP levels with PMR. Reading through your previous posts you mention the symptoms of terrible stiffness but I didn't see any mention of pain. There are many conditions that mimic PMR. Do you also have pain along with the stiffness?
