Hi Betsey, I am sorry to hear that you, too, have Polymyalgia, but it's a lot better than most diseases that people post about here. Take heart. I wonder if you doctor might have had you taper the Prednisone too fast. Are you seeing a rheumatologist? They are the specialists that treat this disorder. I have Polymyalgia, also, and it is under good control with the help of my good doctor and Prednisone. In January of this year, I was started on 20 mg of Prednisone for a week, and then tapered to 15 mg for 3 weeks, and down to 10 mg for a few more weeks, and finally, down to 7.5 mgin March, which I am currently on. If Prednisone is tapered too fast, symptoms can recur. Let your doctor know about your pain, and then he/she will probably recommend that you go back up a notch on the Prednisone for a while. I hope you feel better soon! Please let us know how you are doing. Shar
