I am on my second taper. I am down to 1 1/2 mg prednisone. It's been 3 years of this PMR battle and I'm doing well with a little discomfort in one shoulder, which I can live with. As long as my blood tests are normal I'm ok with that. I found on this second taper that reducing 1/2 mg a month worked better for me, as opposed to every 2 weeks. About to drop to just 1 mg which my Rheumatologist recommended. I will stay there for a month. Taking care of bones throughout this nightmare with healthy diet, reclast infusions and calcium supplements. Long journey. Good luck to you.
