Hi Liz @lizward46, I gave up all forms of alcohol but did it because I also have neuropathy. I did find some information on the topic but I think it might depend on a lot of different factors.

"Can I have a glass of wine while taking prednisone?
A person taking prednisone may want to avoid alcohol until they finish the treatment. Alcohol can worsen some side effects of prednisone, such as immune system suppression, bone weakening, and weight gain. It is best to speak with a doctor to avoid serious complications."

Are you still on prednisone or has your PMR gone into remission?

I was diagnosed 3 weeks ago but had to wait to take prednisone until after surgery for torn bicep. So I have only been on prednisone for 3 days. The wheels are falling off the bus of this aging body but I am developing a positive attitude, especially reading all the PMR stories. Thanks for the alcohol info. I plan to continue abstinence.
