Hi Ida, It's great to hear from you! You are on 8mg of Prednisone and your doctor wants you to remain on that dose until you see him next. How are your symptoms on that dose? Does your doctor think you may still have PMR? I am also on 8mg of Prednisone and doing well. I am hope to go down to 7.5 soon. The worst side effect I have when I taper is the fatigue, but it does improve after a week or two. I still can't drop any weight that I gained from being on Prednisone for 5 years! My doctor said I would have to be completely off of the Prednisone to lose the weight. Grrrr. I hope you have a very merry Christmas and a happy and healthy New Year! I look forward to your next post. Take good care, Ida. Shar
