Hi Shar- Hope this finds you feeling better and that you received a good report from your doctor. How did he/she say you are doing? I saw my R. and he started another taper- from 10 mg to 10/9mg., etc., each for four weeks. My next appointment is in March and he ordered a thyroid test along with the other labs. I do have low energy along with the muscle pain. In the meantime, my internist said four-and-a-half years with PMR is long enough and he has started me on a strong anti-biotic with the thought that I could have undetected Lyme disease. (All the tests for Lyme have been negative, but he says I have some of the symtoms). I am ready to try anything to feel better. Ironically, a relative of mine was just diagnosed with PMR. She complains of pain and weakness. She is having the round of tests that we know so well. I hope your new medicine will help and that you will feel better real soon. Best wishes for a Merry Christmas and a prayer that the new year will bring better health. Ida
