Hi Shar- It is so good to hear from you. Hope you are feeling OK, and able to enjoy some summer activities. It sounds like you really need the 10mg of Prednisone. Can you wait to start the Orencia? I am still on 9/8mg. My rheumatologist thinks the pain (all over) and the fatigue are caused by the other problems- kidney, lung. I don't have joint pain or swelling and my sedrates have been normal for the last six months. I really liked this rheumatologist, but she is doing special studies and refered me to her associate. Third rheumatologist in a year. Are they all retiring or changing jobs? Good luck with your new rheumatologist. Sometimes it is good to get another opinion and a fresh view. Hope you have a great summer. Keep me posted on how you are doing. Be well, Ida.
