                        Haven't checked this thread in a long time because never had a response.  Now I see "Michelle" is asking questions and no one answers.  For shame!  My PMR lasted three years and is gone.  I will be off the prednisone now for almost a year (since last October).  However, I did want to warn you that long time usage of prednisone can result in stress fractures.  Had one on my left heel recently - had a bone scan - which cofirmed it.  The nurse at my Rheumatologists told me stress fractures are very common with prednisone.  I also had two cataracts removed this year - no not prednisone -- just aging!  I just wanted you to know that PMR can go away.    Kay
