Hi Marilyn, It's interesting that you noticed fatigue as a major symptom too! I think it's hard to cope with it. Last year, I took Vioxx too for several months, and then I quit, and I didn't notice much difference in my pain at that time. Then, I recently tried to take Vioxx again, and in a low dose of 12.5mg, and it made me even more tired. I stopped it, and some of the fatigue lifted. Tiredness is one of the side effects of Vioxx. I'm hoping to be able to taper my Prednisone in a couple of weeks below 10 mg. I've had several relapses, and I hope to avoid one this time by tapering a little bit slower. I don't know how much difference that makes though, because it seems most people report relapses when they reach about 5 mg of Prednisone, even if they have tapered very slowly. Best wishes to you!
