Hi Ida, It's good to hear that you are doing well on 8/7 mgs. of Prednisone! I am keeping my fingers crossed that your next taper to 7 mgs. will go well. I just called my doctor yesterday about my constant fatigue and increased pain, and he said to jump start my system again with 3 days at 15 mg. and then 2 weeks at 10 mg. of Prednisone. Here I go again! I had to do this in early May too, and when it was time to taper to 7.5 mg., I had another flare. I was doing so well last Fall! I'm discouraged, but maybe this time, things will work out. I've had PMR for a little over a year and a half. I hope it goes away soon. Have you heard of PMR going into RA for some unlucky people? Someone just told me that unpleasant news, which she heard from her rheumy. My rheumy hasn't said anything like that. Good grief! I hope that it isn't true! Take care of yourself, Ida! It's good to hear from you. Please post soon! Shar
