I am on a low-dose 7 1/2 MG daily and aspirin. My pain is not gone. It’s like a dull ache all the time. Arm mobility and fatigue and some pain are my main problems. And then toward the end of the day it gets worse but it’s not as bad as it was back in August. I don’t want to go back there. the pain was so bad. I am relatively new to this but hoping that the Aspirin and prednisone will eventually give me complete relief but I don’t expect it.
I’m learning and this group helps me. I don’t know how much emotions and stress has to do with PMR.

Hi Carlotta,
If you are still experiencing pain while on prednisone, you are not taking a high enough dose. Why are you taking only 7 1/2 mg if you are still in pain?
My PMR began fourteen years ago during a time of worry and anxiety and I have always believed that the emotional stress played a part in triggering the symptoms.

I'm no expert but I do think stress, anxiety and emotions can play a big part in PMR. Making sure I got some sort of exercise each day helped me when my PMR was active...along with my prednisone dose for the day.
