Hello @lisaparisella, Welcome to Connect. I'm sorry to hear you haven't been able to find a treatment other than prednisone. There are a couple of discussions on the topic that might be helpful:
--- PMR: Are there treatment alternatives to Prednisone?: https://connect.mayoclinic.org/discussion/alternatives-to-prednisone/
--- Alternative to Prednisone for Treating PMR?: https://connect.mayoclinic.org/discussion/alternative-to-prednisone/.

Have you seen a rheumatologist to discuss alternative treatments?

If your doctor doesn't provide alternative therapies, find another doctor, preferably a rheumatologist. Good luck.

Alternatively an Interleukin-6 inhibitor is a good choice.
A rheumatologist would be the
physician with the most experience with prescribing in your situation.
