Not daring to post as state of zero pted could indeed be a false dawn! Who knows? PMR symptoms started in 2017. Diagnosed October the same year. By autumn 2018 I was down to 6mg. In spite of selling up in France and returning to England, a son who was living with us (long story) and who was in the middle of a psychotic breakdown on our return I.
I've had a couple of flares, caught early and stubbed out with help and advice from our wise women on the Forum. The last of these flares was last summer. Since then I tapered slowly down from 3mg. Staying at each dose for a month and decreasing in 0.5mg steps.
I've had a few aches this week but these responded immediately to Ibuprofen which I am now reducing.
Keeping fingers crossed all goes well.
Thanks to everyone for all their help and support.

So sorry for your troubles. Cautiously happy for your remission - it has certainly been tested. You have been through so much trauma and changes of late. Shshsh! Fingers crossed for you! 🤗🌷
That's great news, so pleased you made it! It gives us all hope in our journeys. I'm on my way to zero for a second time of asking....keeping everything crossed.
