Welcome @amak23, It can be a struggle tapering off of prednisone while trying to get into remission. My first bout with PMR took me 3 and half years to taper off and it stayed gone for 6 years. The second time I had learned to change my lifestyle some with healthier eating and a little more exercise to control the stiffness and I was able to taper off in 1 and half years. It's been in remission for almost 5 years now.

Do you keep a daily log with your dosage and level of pain when you first get up in the morning?
