Does continuing to exercise help when tapering off prednisone to keep those muscles and joints moving? Drinking adequate amounts of water to be hydrated? Adequate rest? Appropriate diet of anti inflammatory foods?

This disease is just the pits anyway you look at it!

Thanks to all who post on these sights as I think it is a very helpful, supportive activity.

A big yes to continuing with exercise when you have PMR! My second time around I started eating better and exercising a little more which I think helped me taper off sooner than the first time with PMR - 1 and half years vs 3 and half years. Here's some information that might be helpful that also mentions exercise:
