Last Covid Booster in August 2022 I’ve had severe pain. Probable PMR

I was diagnosed in Nov 2022, they think the Shingrix vaccine triggered the PMR. Got a Rheumatologist right away in December, and I'm tapering the Prednisone down, currently at 8 mg. Been on Prednisone for almost 4 months, and my fingernails are shredding. Any solutions for that? I always thought it was gelatin, but the internet seems to think it's an old wives' tale.

I have found applying any good oil (olive, vit.E) to nails and cuticles has helped a lot. But you have to re-apply every time your hands are in water. But it has helped a lot.
