I am on the metrology pack of predesone. For a bit over a month I was taking one half pill every other day. Many flare-up! I am now on one pill a day, 4 mg. No flare-up. I do get bouts of fatigue that slow me down. My doctor most likely will put me on reg predesone in July and it looks like that will be permanent. I am 2 and one half years with PMR. So it will be permanent.

From what I understand, one of the reasons why we need to be on enough prednisone to take care of the inflammation is the risk of acquiring GCA (Giant Cell Arteritis. Make sure to keep your doctor informed of flares so they can adjust your dosage accordingly.
Input or correction aporeciated.
