I have been taking 15 mg prednisone for a week and I am very dizzy most of the day. I wonder if it is from the prednisone or the PMR. I'm not sure it is working either tho I don't hurt as bad but still hurting.

Hi Bren….I also have periods of dizziness as well as tingling/numbness in my legs, but I don’t have very much actual pain at this point even upon awakening.

@bren2023, I have exactly the same issue. I am still taking 20 mg of prednisone but my PMR pain is still present. I also have dizziness which I attribute to prednisone. I am really going to commit to cleaning up my diet because I am ready for my breakthrough and sounds like you and others are too. ❤️

I am having periods of dizziness, too, though I've had episodes of this before, but this seems different, more constant. I assume it is Kevzara since I didn't have this on prednisone alone.

Could be the prednisone. But best to ask your dr about it.
