Hello Bob: I have had PMR for nearly two years. the only treatment is to take Prednisone. I started out with 50 mg. a day and and now down to 6 mg. The Prednisone should immediately take care of the pain but you must start out with a fairly high dose and then graduallly bring it down to a dose where you can maintain a reasonable quality of life. they tell me it takes up to 2 years and then you may begin to get over it. It is not nice to take prednisone but that seems to be the only answer. That drug has many side effects.
