                        I'm 73 yrs old/  Have pmr since 1995.  Started with 20mg and in 3 days felt  much better.  Have not been able to get  off prednisone.  I'm able to get to 3  mgs. and then start hurting and going  back to 5mg.  It's a losing battle and  i'm convinced that I will be on it for  the rest of my life.  I try to walk  daily and play golf once or twice a week  Don't let it get you down.
