Hello @bren2023, There is another discussion that might be helpful answering your question.

--- What's a good anti inflammation drug (not prednisone) for PMR?: https://connect.mayoclinic.org/discussion/recommended-anti-inflamation-drug-not-prednisone-for-pmp/.

Have you discussed alternatives to prednisone with your doctor or rheumatologist?
