Hello @ozblossom and welcome to Mayo Clinic Connect.

You will notice that I have moved your post into an existing discussion which you can find here:
- PMR: Are there treatment alternatives to Prednisone?: https://connect.mayoclinic.org/discussion/alternatives-to-prednisone/

I did this so that you may connect with members such as @flymetothemoon and @johnbishop who may be able to share more with you based on their experiences.

When do you start your RA work up this week?
