I've been on 7 mg with not much pain .I've had a very busy summer and been on 7 mg for 5 months.Do most pmr sufferers wait til stress has lessened?.Some fun stress but also worrisome stress.Been 5 years and not sure when to taper.The only symptoms I have now is iam a bit more tired.

Hi,

The main rule I followed re tapering was NOT to taper if I was aware of any pmr symptoms - even if that meant staying at the same dose for several weeks.

And, yes, stress is very much not good if you have pmr. Seems to me you have been acting sensibly.

Good luck
