I have had polymyalgia for over 5 years--I feel that the prednisone was a real life saver. I have been weaned off it before but then it came back. Am currently down to 25 mgs. a week and feeling almost normal. If it hadn't been for the stress of recently losing my husbank after a sudden illness, I feel I would be farther along. Don't give up, we'll conquer this condition yet.
