Dont worry about taking steroids. If it is PMR you will see the benefits fairly quickly. If it isn't PMR then you will be off them after a short while with no after effects. We all had the same thoughts about going on the "demon steroids" at the beginning of our journey but learn to see it as our friend in the end.
Best of luck and read as much on this forum as you can. You will get more relevant information here than with most GPs.

upper front thighs. My doc had a light bulb moment when I struggled
to get up out of a chair. He did sed rate right then and it came back
92, so easy for him to know what was wrong with me....After reading
these blogs for a while you will see that everyone has their own
set of symptoms and no two people are alike. Will also find that
reaction to pred is unique among patients.....it's really a crap shoot
kind of disease......good luck....
