Newly diagnosed no longer overwhelmed

I'm so happy to have found you all! A great big thank you to all who shared information and advice. Steroids are doing their thing and I am already feeling much better. I was able to attend worship services today for the first time in weeks. hubby is thrilled I can dress myself and so am I. Disappointed to learn this will be a marathon instead of a sprint, but you all are dealing and so can I

Oregonhazel, yes it can be a rather long journey, but it you rush your tapering it probably be a longer journey and you will end up taking more Prednisone. Rule of thumb reduce by 10% or less using DSNS method, don’t reduce if you have PMR pain. Good luck on your PMR journey. Try to stay active, positive with a smile, it helps. :slightly_smiling_face:
