It is curable. I was treated for about 18 months with prednisone. Treatment started with a hefty dose, I do not remember whether 25 or 50 mg, followed by daily use of at first 10 mg, and then periodically reducing to 7,5,3,2,0 mg. I feel fine now. While treatment is in effect you shoulld have a blood test every 3 months or so. A sedimentation test may also show whter progress is being made. My doctor told me the normal treatment period averages 1 year. Good luck!
