I have to say that the steroids do wonders for depression too.

Other than sadly discovering my pelvis fractured, I do incredibly well on steroids. Physically and very much emotionally and mentally.

My mom had poly myalgia in her 70s. It came on suddenly and there are some classic symptoms. She was put on MTX at first but it didnāt agree with her so the doc gave her prednisone. At first I think she took up to 20 mg a day, but eventually lowered the doseā¦I think she has sometimes taken 5 mg, but thatās only when she feels really achy. She told me recently she normally only takes 2 mg. She had a car accident a few years agoāended up with a whiplash so she had some terrible neck pain for quite a long time. She has really bad OA in her fingers and had a knee replacement (when she was 80). I admire her toughness and sure wish I could say I was as strong as her!
