Hi Shar- Glad to hear from you, but sorry to hear the Orencia is not working. Do you think you will go back to Enbrel and 12 mg of Prednisone? Do you take pain medication? I take Darvocet. I saw my (new)rheumatologist this week, he is keeping me on 7 mg of Prednisone, but says I can try higher or lower doses as needed. I will stay the same, since I am scheduled for kidney surgery in February and don't want to lower too much. My pain is mostly in my muscles, but it sounds like you have both, PMR and RA. This has gone on too long for both of us. But I guess some people have it even worse. I try to keep going, slowly, and things do get done. I hope you will be feeling better soon. Also, want to wish you a very Merry Christmas and a Happy, Healthy (pain-free) New Year. Ida
