PMR - Decreased prednisone and pain returned
I was at 2mg for 6 weeks of prednisone and decided go down to 1 1/2 and after 2 weeks I started to have pain in my shoulders. Will 1/2 a mg make a that sort of difference. I have been on prednisone for 18 months and have gone up and down before... Any recommendation on what to increase the predisone to.

Thank you for your response. Yes on my own I am keeping a wellness journal. My ESR and CRP were both very high and now with being on prednisone they are in the normal range. I see my doctor in a week, so I am going to share the information you provided. I believe the people living this disease are the experts not the doctors.
