Hi Shar- It is good to hear from you. I am glad to hear that the Enbrel is working for you. Sometimes we know what does the best for us and have to tell the doctor what is working. Yes, the mornings are terrible. I used to be a morning person and can't believe that now I can't get started until late morning, if at all. This taper (9mg) was not as bad as the 10/9mg taper and the extreme fatigue and pain lasted for less than a week this time. As for the "Lyme's Disease," my doctor still feels I have it and is now starting me on long-acting Penicillin shots. I have been on an antibiotic for three months and some of my symptoms have gotten less. So we'll see. I am ready to try anything. (A note: my daughter's dog has been on Prednisone and barks for extra food). I guess it affects everyone, including animals the same way. Proof that it makes everyone hungrier. Hope you are feeling better soon. Ida
