Hi Carol- I have been diagnosed with PMR and have been treated for it for about five years. I started with a sedrate of 100 and my doctor prescribed 40 mg of Prednisone to start. It helped with the pain and the fatigue. I have tapered the Prednisone over the years, up and down. I found that at a dose of 5 or 6 mg of Prednsisone, that the symptoms returned. It sounds like you need more Prednisone, but I am not a doctor. If you are taking Prednisone, make sure you get enough calcium and vitamin D. Good luck, Elaine
