                        Hi Ida,  How are you?  Are you having any more days without symptoms?  Maybe, your PMR is beginning to leave.  That would be wonderful!  I have had a change in diagnosis.  My rheumy believes that my PMR has changed into RA.  Last year, my symptoms went kind of haywire and went into my joints.  I needed an increase in the Prednisone at that time, and I haven't been able to taper ever since.  I'm also on Methotrexate.  My rheumy is talking of putting me on Enbrel next month, so that I can taper off of the Prednisone.  I'm currently on 10mg of Prednisone.    Exercise is good for us, so keep that up.  My doctor told me to push myself a little just to keep up my strength.  It makes me feel better.  That's for sure!  Let me know how you are doing.  I hope things are going well for you!  Take care.
