I am new here. Looking to see how everyone else handles PMR. With prednisone, life is good. I am tapering off of it now. Down from 20 mg to 13 mg. Still doing great!

Hi, and welcome
I think we all deal with it slightly differently - depending on many things -
What side effects we get from the steroids,
Are we still working,
Do we have other illnesses,
Are we a carer for someone,
Do we have a support family/friends,
Age,
How fit before PMR,
Is it straightforward, and can we live a relatively normal life within the constraints of the illness,
Do we have a lot of issues.
Do we approach it positively or negatively
Obviously should you have specific questions, then ask….but this might give you more info -

and also look at the FAQs …you can often get a lot more from the replies than the original post -
I hope your journey continues to be smooth! Stick with us now and then just in case.

Keep reading - because there really is no single answer.
I am on 10/day prednisone and 7.5/week methotrexate. I am going through a small flair so prednisone increased for a week per my rheumatologist. Diagnosed Dec 2019. Also in US but not KC. Hope you do well.
