I developed PMR within 36hrs of 2nd Pfizer Vaccine. I have been on Prednisone for 2 plus yrs. Difficult weaning since I got to 10 mg from 20mg. On 7mg with mild symptoms but now have bilateral achilles tendonitis. I know steroids can possibly cause achilles tend. I don't want to try Methyltrexate due to liver effects. I get ur point about not trying anything new. Hope it goes in remission soon. Best of luck to you!

Yes, Methlttexate does have so many risks. They want me to take it instead of my pain medication and sorry I am not willing to give up what works just because of the Opiod Crises. Many people do well on Hydrocodone and I am one who does have any issues except DR’s all but for forcing me off. Doctors are trying to force patients off something onto something in my opinion could be more dangerous. No one can dictate you need to suffer. I’m my best advocate for sure.
