You will be fine. I was amazed at how quickly the PMR pain went away when I was on the right dose of prednisone. You too sound like you are healthy so I am hoping that you will find relief soon. This forum has been very helpful because, in the beginning, no one I knew had ever heard of PMR. I wasn’t looking for sympathy but just someone to understand what I was going through. Fortunately my husband got it. He was a lifesaver, lifting me out of bed for several days when the pain was at its peak.
