Today is the first day that I am not using prednisone . it's been 2.5 years since I started prednisone . I am so happy to finally be done with that devil drug. In the two and a half years since taking prednisone I have had eight fractured bones including three fractures in one location. I've also turned from pre-diabetic to diabetic. All because of the prednisone. so I am very happy to be off and I really think my PMR went into remission a few months ago but I wanted to taper very slowly because I did not want it to come out of remission. so think happy thoughts for me and I will think good thoughts about you as well. I hope you get to write something like this in the near future.

Yeahhhhhhh! Well done. They told me I would be off pred (for GCA) in 18 months and that's what happened. Haven't looked back since.
Congratulations.

Thank you Eileen. I had excellent guidance by the hospital rheumatologist, support from my GP and very helpful advice - and support - from forum friends. Without this, I would have been a confused mess!
