Polymyalgia and Prednisone

Hi Ida, It's great to hear from you. How is your recent taper going? How long does it usually take you to find out if it is going to work? I have found it to take almost a month, and that is frustrating. I hate to waste so much time and energy on a failed taper, but that seems to be how it works for me. The Kineret isn't working for me yet. I am in a lot of pain and I am discouraged. I called my doctor, and he said to give it a couple more weeks. If I don't improve, then he will put me back on Enbrel. Enbrel has helped me more than I realized, but not enough to get me off of Prednisone. I am back on Methotrexate, per my doctor's orders, and that may help with the Prednisone taper. I am still on 10mg of the Pred at this time. I hope your holiday was great. Let me know how you are doing. Shar
