Hi Nancy, Thanks for posting. It can take some time for the body to adjust to the lower dose of Prednisone. My experience has been that it takes anywhere from 10 days to almost 3 weeks for my symptoms to improve. Each time the Prednisone was reduced, I suffered a recurrene of pain and stiffness in my hips and shoulders, but then it would plateau out, and I noticed a marked improvement. Also, I am not sure why your doctor thinks you now have fibromyalgia. Does he mean you don't have PMR at all, or is he saying that you have both diseases at the same time? Let me know how you are doing. I would like if we can keep in touch. I think it helps to exchange information with others about similar problems. Good luck to you, Nancy! I hope you feel better real soon! Shar
