was diagnosed with pmr after covid vaccine. I have had the boosters also. i have been on pred. for two years and finally tapered off. after feeling fine (about 1 week)I started to relapse. It was worse than the original symptoms. Excruciating pain in thighs and low back. blood test showed increased sed rate after previous normal tests. I am back on 20 mg pred and guess that's how it goes. I do not like pred. as I do not sleep well. It gives me a false sense of phys capabilities as I am an avid exercise enthusiast. I worry if I am hurting myself and will be aware after tapering off this bout. Dr suggested Actemra infusion and we'll discuss next visit.
