@lowell77 Whew - so happy you are feeling better ! Yes, the split dose absolutely worked for me too -and i also saw mention of it here on this site ! -- but i was taking the pm dose at about 7. pm -- now that i take a smaller (total) dose and moved it to about 5 pm, i sleep much better! Be open to the many ways of splitting : ) I also have had 3 Lyme/tick tests to rule that out !!

speaking of Lyme and PMR (!) For your reading pleasure - https://www.nytimes.com/2019/06/05/magazine/hip-shoulder-pain-polymyalgia-rheumatica-diagnosis.html. If you can open this - in the end the patient had a FUNGAL disease - not PMR , not Lyme !
