Arthritis/Prednisolone query

Saw my GP on Friday re my diagnosis of PMR, and he's reduced my Pred to 4 x
5mg per day as from yesterday.

I've been told my Pred will gradually be reduced over a couple of years, but
will I ever get off them and back onto my usual Diclofenac Sodium (NSAID)
again?

What generally happens in a case like mine?

Sorry it's a bit vague, but I'm just looking ahead.

No way of telling until you try. 2 years seems like a long taper to
me.
