Stiffness in the morning is normal to some extent since the body sheds a new batch of inflammatory substances every morning about 4am - until the pred takes effect you will be stiff and probably sore. For some people it is so bad they split their pred and take some later in the day to carry over its effect to the morning. Stiffness after being inactive for any length of time is also a symptom in PMR - sometimes it remains despite the dose but it should be improved when you are on the correct dose of pred.

Hi jeannecatlover, I think you will find a wealth of information on the internet. My wife and I started with all organic and wild caught fish. No chicken, eggs or dairy, she has modified our diets over the past year to fit our life style. It all started for us because she suffered with debilitating migraines. Three days after starting the diet her migraines stopped. Has the diet helped me, I don't know, my I am PMR pain free doing DSNS taper and not going off the diet to find out. If you want more specific information send me a private message. Good luck, stay active rode my bike 23.8 miles yesterday, positive and try to smile. ??
