I've been taking a low dose of Prednisone for a month, and am starting to feel so much better. My PMR symptoms started 2 months ago. My PCP thinks that's what my malady is.

Since I can't see a Rheumatologist until February 6th, I plan on staying on the drug to ease my pain.

I'm questioning whether my symptoms are abating on their own, or if it's simply the help of Prednisone. Guess I'll just have to wait and see.

If this is the status quo - I can deal with it. Last month's agony, I couldn't deal with.
