Sandiw77. Thank you for your reply. That is perfect information for me right now. As you can tell from my constant whining I have been so confused. But after John's info and this posting from you I think it is PMR especially since it's muscle pain and it also is effecting.my hip area
..but not joint pain. I might need to try 20 or even 25 just to test and see. But it is so helpful to get specific info and support. I know I can eventually manage this...I have managed 5 other conditions for years. This one is so different and the treatment not the easiest to tolerate at higher doses. I had been on 3 mgs for 11 years before this coupled with placquenil for RA with no side effects so..
Anyway? I am grateful.for your help. I will do some testing. Be well. Mickie

I am so glad that my comments were helpful. I think the collective info and experience of this group has been very beneficial to me and come here for inspiration and encouragement. I am relatively new to PMR (diagnosed in May 22 started Prednisone in June) so I am still learning from discussion. I have already passed tapering info to my rheumatologist from these threads so I am grateful. Hang in there, we are all rooting for each other. Blessings!
