Hi everyone.I am 83 and have had PMR for 2 years. A bit of a background. Always active and was fine until 3 covid shots and one shingle shot,then developed PMR,in neck shoulders and arms.
I was placed on 20 mgs. 1 month.
15 mgs 1 month.
10 mgs 10 months,then reduce by 1 mg per month.
Reduced eventually to 0.Then had flare,am back on 5.
At 5 mgs am feeling great,have been told by Dr. This is most likely where I will be to eliminate the pain.
I do exercise with light weights,shoulder shrugs,meditation and walks.
I will eventually try dropping 1 mg but am not in a rush.
Please stop trying to get of Prednisone to fast and do not take ibuprofen with it.
Don't mean to rant.Cheers from Calgary.
