Hi Shar- Good to hear from you. It sounds like everything is sort of under control for now with your meds. It sounds like you have a great doctor who listens to you. I am still on 8 mg. prednisone, but I saw my rheumatologist yesterday and he said to slow the taper to 8/7 next week and stay on that for a month then go down to 7 mg for a month, etc. I have considerably less pain now than I did before, even after that fast taper during the winter. I am hoping that the PMR is almost over, but know that the test is 5 mg. It must be difficult for you with both RA and PMR to know which is causing what. Hope you do improve. Keep me posted, Ida.
