In answer to your question, "What does Remission feel like?" I am now in remission as of 2 weeks ago. I found that tapering too fast did not work. I went down by 1/2 mg a month, and that worked for me. The thing I have noticed the most after finally getting off prednisone, was my sleep is starting to get back to normal. I don't get up at 2 AM anymore, and I manage to get 6 or 7 hours a night of sleep. I also noticed that I tire more easily than before I had PMR. I am having trouble getting my body back into the condition it was in before I got PMR, My strength has decreased dramatically and my endurance is terrible. But then again, I am 2 and 1/2 years older now, almost 75. So some may be from age and the rest from not using those muscles while in pain for such a long time. I am glad to be off prednisone, and I am trying to rebuild my body, and get my stamina back.
