Hi. Just diagnosed, started on 15mg once daily, today was first dose. I’m concerned about blood pressure increase and weight gain. I have Hashimoto’s thyroiditis as well so my weight likes to stick to me! Any tips? Experiences from others? Thanks!

Hi @vjs, My PMR is currently in remission. I had a terrible problem with weight gain the first time around so when it came back the second time I decided to eat healthier and exercise more which really helped. The following article has some good suggestions that might be helpful:
