Me too! I definitely wasn't in that cluster.

"Treat to target" means something slightly different to me. I was treated with prednisone for a really long time both before PMR and after PMR was diagnosed. Nothing ever changed about "managing my symptoms" with prednisone

Eventually I got off prednisone with help from another medication. That would not have been possible for me without the other medication. I think other treatment options targeted at the inflammation mechanism involved rather than managing the symptoms with prednisone.

I’m 8 years on prednisone now and looking at alternatives. Would you mind sharing what the other medication is that you switched to? And, when you started titrating off Prednisone what was your daily dose?
