How are you feeling now after several hours?

Hi. PMR Diagnosed mid-Nov. I was started on 40 mgs, pred. Killed pain immediately. Shortly down to 30 per doc, a little symptomatic in right shoulder, then 50, then 40. Then doc started me on Medrol, thinking that would help insomnia, third week of Dec. at 32 mgs. (=40 pred.) As of yesterday, taken myself down to 24 mgs medrol = 30 mgs pred. The shakes and hoarseness on the higher dose of 40 mgs were getting to me. One symptom that has been with me the whole time is a swollen sternum. No other symptoms yet. Getting MRI next week. I rely on 5 mgs of zolpidem to sleep.
