I think normal reaction to Pred. Seems I recall atleast 2 months.
I didn't have back pain which was great, though it came back as I dropped, but I always had the PMR pains, struggled to get in my car for almost a year. I was still at 60-70% pain. For some it reduces their pain down to 30%.
So, my answer is it is just the higher dose of Pred and will get better, though now I wake up about every 2-3 hours to use bathroom.
Good luck Mutley2 and Bludderbabe2, take care, hopefully rest. It's our wonderful adrenals that are haywire, poor little guys.
