Does Prednisone weakened your immune system while being used for PMR

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.

I initialy had trouble getting diagnosed (I believe) because my markers were confusing and I had two kinds of pain. moving and nonmoving. (At rest) Low Dose Naltrexone cleared that up completely in two days.

Interesting Janiceen. I've only been splitting them for a month. No, side effects yet. I'll see my doctor next week and see what he says about it. Before I started splitting, I was in pain 6-7 hours every day.

Best, John
