"Most people don’t know what polymyalgia rheumatica (PMR) is, but it comes on fast and strong, and pretty quickly you can’t raise your arms over your head or walk normally. Pain and stiffness as if you ran a marathon yesterday and your legs are full of cement. One dose of prednisone after suffering for two months and finally some relief! But you have to continue taking it for 1+ years, tapering down to the smallest effective dose, until (hopefully) it goes into remission. The usual negative side effects of prednisone apply, which reduce as your dose does. I started on regular generic prednisone at 20 mg. Switched to Rayos delayed release at 10 mg seven months in. Rayos is great—no GI problems, and you take it before bed so it is working when you get up. Less morning pain. Prednisone is the only treatment that works for PMR, so you might as well embrace it."
