My first time lasted 3-1/2 years before I could get off of prednisone. The PMR stayed in remission for 6 years and came back. The 2nd time took me 1-1/2 years to get off the prednisone. I think the average length of Mr Ugly to stay with us is about 18 to 24 months but it’s different for everyone.

I had never heard of PMR untill i was diagnosed with it , and didn't realize how painful and depressing it could be , i had always been quite fit , and to wake up one morning feeling in pain & for it to get so bad i couldn't get out of bed on days , just didn't realize it could last so long , but the last few days been reading up , just can't wait to come off prednisone but looks like it's going to be a while yet
