Hello @livingwithpmr, Tapering off of prednisone while managing the PMR symptoms can be difficult at times. You might find this discussion where others have shared helpful.

One thing that helped me was keeping a daily log of my prednisone dose and the level of pain/aches I had in the morning before taking the prednisone. My rheumatologist also gave me an Rx for 1 mg tablets along with the 5 and 2.5 mg tablets. Towards the end before my PMR went into remission I had to buy a pill splitter and would split the 1 mg tablets to go up or down a small amount when needed.
