PMR - How will I know I am in remission?

After reading a lot about tapering off Prednisone I'm curious how one knows if they still have PMR or not. A couple of months after being diagnosed, my inflammatory markers were normal but when I tried to taper off Pred I had a return of symptoms and had to start taking it again.

Hi @christi48, You will notice that we moved your post to an existing discussion on the same topic started by @loresathome here:

I think the answer to the question may be a little different for each of us with PMR with a common thread of the pain being pretty much gone. When tapering off of prednisone, my rheumy told me to listen to my body and taper slowly. @ddmo and @loresathome may also have some thoughts on the question.
