Hi. So I’m down to 1/2 mg of prednisone. I’m having pain again. I see my rheumatologist on Wednesday of next week. If my blood tests are normal I’m going to ride this out for awhile. If everytime I taper I go through this I could be on prednisone for more years. I’m just curious of this will eventually away on its own. I’m taking Celebrex on some nights which is gentler on stomach then some of the other anti inflammatory meds. Not sure what will happen but after 3 years on prednisone I would like to be done but time will tell.

@flymetothemoon, My first time with PMR last 3 and half years with the last six months going back and forth between 1 mg and 1/2 mg until I was finally able to stop taking prednisone with little to no aches and pains when I woke up in the morning.

You are getting there and hopefully will be in remission soon!
