I am into pmr 3 years and have gotten down to 6 mg. But symptoms are in middle of night and will try to 5. But discouraged. Anyone else have suggestions, go up go down?

Hello 1942marilyne, Welcome to Connect. Some members have split their dose between morning and late afternoon/evening and it's helped them with the symptoms at night. My first time with PMR took me 3-1/2 years to taper off of prednisone so don't be discourage. I didn't think to try splitting the dose when I was struggling. Usually I just bumped my dose up half of what I tapered down the previous time. Have you discussed it with your rheumatologist?
