Hi Shar- Sorry to hear you had the flu- I heard that the new strain was really bad and people were sick for a month. Hope you are feeling better from that. I guess your doc has to see what works best by trial and error. Why did your doctor change you to Humira when Enbrel seemed to work? I know you'll be glad to taper the Prednisone. I plan to start the next taper on Feb. 1, to 9 mg daily for a month. I should have tapered two weeks ago, but I had some things to do and didn't want the PMR acting up like the last taper. The antibiotic has made no difference in aches, pains etc. I have a little less mental fatigue (brain fog) but that's it. I think I still have PMR, but at this point I'm willing to try anything including the antibiotic. In the meantime, my rheumatologist has ordered numerous blood tests- including thyroid. After 4 1/2 years of this, I guess my doctors are seeking solutions elsewere. Hope you feel better soon and that New Year will be a good one for you. Best Wishes, your friend Ida
