                        This will probably be my last post although I am sure I will come back to read what is going on with all of you.  My last two blood tests have come back with a Sed rate of 1.  I've been on 1 1/2mg prednisone for the past couple of months.  My dear rheumy is taking me down to 1mg for 6 weeks, then 1 every other day for 6 weeks and then off totally.  I asked her the other day if she had a lot of PMR patients and she said quite a few.  The average run of the disease seems to be 2 1/2 years and I fell into that average.  I now have some pulmonary problems that are being tested and evidently the prednisone was helping with that.  So - seems if it isn't one thing or another!!!  Anyway, my best wishes to you, particularly Shar and Ida and I truly hope your PMR resolves soon.    Kay
