Hello,
I guess we will never know for sure if PMR was just waiting to emerge or that a vaccine pushed it over the edge. However now we are stuck with it! I think diet does play a part in getting better. I’m making a conscious effort to eat less carbs as being on prednisone definitely makes one hungrier.

Yes, although I love sweets, I have made a conscientious effort to eliminate as much as I can because you are right, the hunger never ends! Hard around this time of year. I’ve also cut out red meats.
Are you finding that hydration also determines how you feel in the am?

I’m in the same boat! Tomorrow I begin to taper by 1/2 tablet every other day. Hope it works.
