@chiarthritis: Other Options for PMR Besides Steroids Polymyalgia rheumatica is an inflammatory condition that can cause significant inflammation in the joints and muscles and has an association with temporal arteritis, which is a very severe form of vasculitis. Prednisone is the long-standing mainstay treatment for PMR. However if you cannot taper off prednisone in a timely manner, you should consider methotrexate or an anti-IL6 biologic medication to help get you off prednisone and to better control your condition. #pmr #polymyalgiarheumatica #autoimmunedisease #inflammation #jointpain
