Hi Ida, I'm sorry you had to go back up on the Prednisone, but 8mg isn't too bad. I started my taper, but I'm not going fast. I did a 9.5mg one day this week, and next week, I plan on two days at that dose. The rest of the week, I will stay at 10mg a day. We'll see how it goes. Does your doctor hint at what he thinks you might have, if not PMR? My doctor said that some patients never get rid of it, so it may be that you still have it. At least it doesn't damage the joints. RA does. I started out with PMR for a year and a half, but then I came down with RA. I know how awful it can be to have to deal with the extreme fatigue. I have to nap almost every day. If I don't nap, I usually pay for it big time. Take good care, Ida. I look forward to hearing from you. Shar
