Was diagnosed in March 2001 with PMR...have been on Prednisone. Am trying to taper the dose down...dropped it to 12.5 from 15 one week ago and have been experiencing skin and scalp tenderness (feels like you do when you have the flu with high temperatures). These are two of the symptoms I had when first diagnosed...so think I may have to increase the prednisone again. Has ANYONE experienced the tenderness I am describing? It hurts to shampoo my hair, let along comb and fix it!! Thanks for any responses.
