So, after almost 6 years with PMR, and many ups and downs, I am pred-free for 3 days and actually feel better! My last taper was .25mg pred for three weeks. The years ticked by and I am now 75, but, so what! Still working on my cars and going to the gym every day. Actually, maintained my gym attendance, with varying degrees of success, all throughout my PMR journey.

Which me luck!

All the luck in the world - and with that slow a taper there is a fairish chance you will. But if that daily .25mg was enough to hide something - don't be in denial if it peeks round the door in a few months!

Been quite a rash of people getting off pred lately - it can be done.
