Yes I think that's why I require all this pred and still.have problems when most don't. I have several autoimmune things going on so not just the RA. My fibromyalgia flares a lot since I developed PMR. And the pred is messing with my muscles.which is messing with my OA. But I think overall it's got the PMR stuck and not responding enough to the pred. Oy. Lol.

Chronic systemic inflammation messes with a lot of things. Treatment with prednisone messes with more things. You wind up with a huge mess on your hands!

I don't think prednisone mops up the mess. Prednisone makes the mess bigger in my opinion. That is how I see it anyway.
