Hi Shar- Hope you are feeling better. So sorry to hear that the 15 mg of Prednisone is not relieving your fatigue and pain. Is the Enbrel helping yet? I remember when you were on 7.5 mg. It seems it is difficult to wean off Prednisone. I have tapered to 8 mg, but must stay on it for two months, then taper to 8/7 mg for two months and so on. This is different than last June when I was on 8 mg for two weeks, then told to continue to taper for two week periods, etc. I had a lot of fatigue, stiffness and pain back then. With this slower taper, it seems there is less fatigue and pain. I still have pain, but not as often. However, I still do not have much energy. My Rhematologist told me to walk every day to gain energy and did not change much else. My blood work is also getting better. Sed rate was a 34. July will be four years since I first got sick. So maybe there is an end to this thing. And I hope you will also see an end and soon begin to feel better. It does happen, but sometimes only a day at a time. Wishing you many good days to come. Ida
