I have stopped my pred 3 days ago and no PMR pain. This is my second attempt at going from 1 mg to none and the first time the pains came back by that evening. So this is progress. I still have a lot of pain from other sources but I can tell the difference between that and my PMR pain.

In the 3 years I've been on pred I have developed osteoporosis and diabetes. I've lost 55 lbs so I know longer have diabetes. But I broke 8 bones in 5 months last year. It's been a rough disease and hope it never comes back.
