Hi Ken, Sorry to hear that you are suffering so much. These diseases are not easy to live with as we are all finding out. The prednisone does help with the PMR pain but the side effects are a problem all their own. I am now getting the swelling in the face and lower extremeties. I try to monitor my diet closely to avoid salt and sodium but that has not helped. In addition, my blood pressure has gone up. Does anyone else have these side effects and what can be done about them? Please reply.
