Fellow PMR sufferer

I went to a party last night and by accident sitting outside to cool down because of sweating, one of the male guests said he was on Steroids ( Predisolone) funny  i am also on the same drug, I have PMR he said he did, but for a year he was told he had Lupus, when he was not getting better he paid to see a Rhmy  consultant who said you don’t have Lupus because over 70 you are too old. Hence he was properly diagnosed with PMR. He was put on 15mg and is now tapering down 1mg every 2 months, he is on 7mg and is feeling great except for the normal sweating tiredness etc. The interesting thing was he was told he would be cured in 2yrs I was told my adrenal glands would wake up but to be patient. Is it known that PMR does  only last two years.
