Now on Day 4 of the night/morning split. My best day was yesterday, when I could not tell in any way that I had PMR--no pain, no stiffness. The other mornings my pain rating was 0.5/10 and it was gone by noon. So I'm a real believer. Next I am going to try taking the larger dose at night.

After a week this regime is going very well. On only one day did I have some stiffness (no pain) in the arms and otherwise nothing. I have gone back to my exercise routine and am going to work on my next taper. It may be that the split dose will not be so magical later (under 10mg?) but for now it's a winner for me. I never tried taking the larger dose at night. If it ain't broke ....

Alright that’s such good news - keep me updated. I really have only done it that way so not sure what would happen if I took my doses the traditional way in am after waking up. Sticking with this unless I struggle.
