Thank you John. I was surprised, after taking a little more time to read through these other posts, that my rheumatologist not only recommended such a rapid "taper", but that when I reported that my symptoms returned when I went to 10mg, he cast doubt on whether I even have PMR. Very confusing! However, knowing what I know now, thanks to this group, I feel more confident telling him I want to go back to 20mg and start again with a slower taper. I also will start a pain log. I'll let you know how it goes! Many thanks.
