I'm fairly new to this group having been diagnosed July 23. Like most I started on 20 mg Predisone then went to 15 and am now starting 12.5 x three weeks. The big improvement for me came after I started taking my dosage at night instead of the mornings. I am now waking up pretty much pain free. I know the symptoms are still lurking under the surface as certain activities can illicit pain and by 8pm I'm pretty achy. I have added one Tylenol PM and have had no trouble sleeping. I hope that I can continue on this path. If this taper doesn't do the trick then it's on to Kesvera.
