September 2012 I aw diagnosed with PMR (inflammatory arthritis) and GCA. I started out on 80mg of prednisone per day it's 11/04/12 and I am down to 40 mg per day but the puffiness in my face is still extreme and itcauses pressure and discomfort in my cheeks and of course Ihey stomach has swollen til I look like I'm pregnant. If anyone can give me ideas of how I can relieve theswelling, please let me know....
