Does Prednisone weakened your immune system while being used for PMR

Thanks for your reply and link! I take 20mg at 6AM, then 10mg at 2 PM. It gets me pain-free 24 hours seamlessly. When I was just taking 20mg in the morning there was about 6 hours of pain in the early morning hours.

I at one time split up my dose, but was told by one rheumatologist that you need to rest your adrenals, so it's not a good idea. I now take it midday so it doesn't disrupt my sleep. BTW, the only time that I ever felt pain was in the early morning hours while in bed. As soon as I got up, no more pain! It took a long time to have it diagnosed as PMR because I also did not have any inflammatory markers in my blood.
