Polymyalgia

Hi Kayva, Yes, your PMR may be on its way out! Good! Have you had it for a year and a half? I've had PMR for about 14 months now, and I'm on 5mg of Prednisone. I had to put in a call to my rheumy today, though, because I've had a slight increase in pain, but mainly in my right arm and just a touch in the back of my neck. This pain showed up in the last couple of weeks. It's been a month since I was tapered to the 5mg. My doctor had me come in for a blood test this morning, and said we'd talk about whether I should go back up on the Prednisone, or just add Vioxx to my pill regimen, after he sees the results of my blood test. Since the pain isn't very significant, I would expect he'll just have me take some Vioxx. That would be fine. It seems that a lot of people take Celebrex or Vioxx along with their Prednisone. Wish me luck! I wish you the best too! I'll keep my fingers crossed that your PMR is leaving! I'm happy to share PMR experiences with good people like you who post on these Healthlink boards! Take care! Shar
