When you had your recurrence of PMR, did your Dr. try to tell you that you had Fibromyalgia and not a relapse. I haf lowered my prednisone from 15mg to 12 1/2mg and within 10 days developed severe hip and thigh pain, suffered for 4 mos when my Dr. referred me to a rhuematologist who suggested I might now have fibro, I'm not convinced since they seem to mimic each other. (other than than the sed rate)
