I have had PMR since Feb, 2000 and got on Prednisone the 1st of March. It helped me with the very first pill. I was put on 40grams and now am down to only 10 grams a day. Before I got medication, I could hardly move in bed for the pain. I agonized with each step when I walked. Could not bend down to get into the bathtub, muscles were so inflamed. My sed rate was 92, but with next check up was down to 22. I am back to doing everything, but feel somewhat weak in the knees. When on the higher dose, my sleep was very disturbed. I would wake up every one or two hours. That is better now. Hope to gradually cut the dose even more. I am taking lots of vitamins & minerals by Shaklee to be as healthy as possible.
