Hi Shar- How are you doing? Hope you are feeling better. Are you becoming less achey on the 5mg? I think that 5mg is the crucial dose. How long will you be taking 5mg? Mornings are difficult. It takes a while to get started. Although, if I have somewhere to go, I focus and am able to do what I have to do. For me, the fatigue is the worst part of the disease. Somehow, I feel better on 9 mg., than on 10 mg.???? However, I still have fatigue and aches, but do have slightly more energy in general than on the 10 mg. Go figure. The prednisone has raised my cholesterol and weight (40 pounds) in 2 and a half years. Some of it is my fault, I used to be more active and ate less. I hope you continue to improve and will soon be tapered even lower. Keep me posted. Ida
