Hi Mary.
I too have been recently diagnosed with PMR. With the little I know, my advice would be to read as much as you can about PMR from reliable sources and find yourself a rheumatologist that u trust. Understand that everyone who develops this condition brings with them their own unique DNA, possible underlying conditions and a variety of lifestyle choices. That being said if you decide to take prednisone your system may not react to it the same as others have. There are some very informative stories on Mayo Support but ultimately you are the steward of your own body and will find what works for you. BE PATIENT This isn’t a fun journey but hopefully you can return to a somewhat normal life and control your PMR. Liz
