Hello Lissie: I have had PR for almost two years. I was treated with 50 mg. Prednisone a day and gradually this was decreased until the symptoms returned. When I got down to 6 mg. a day I seem to be stuck there. If I try to go to 5 mg. I get pain back in my arms and shoulders. Prednosone is hard to take but it is worth taking when you can live a normal life (mostly) with it. I've heard that a recent breakthrough in the treatment of this disease has happened. Do you know anything about this. I HOPE SO!
