It was the worst pain in my life. I suffered like a dog for 7 months because of incompetent rheumatologist. A NP saved my life by ordering prednisone. Finally my pain resolved but my joints were frozen. I began Yoga and water exercises which restored my joint health.
Lesson: always see another doctor asap if you’re not getting better.

Pleased your quality of life has so improved.
I was very reluctant to go on Prednisone a second time, now 12months tapering...but I now have most of my quality of life back.
Very sound advice you offer:
