Hi Shar- Hope you are feeling better and have been able to continue to taper the prednisone even lower. Don't be discouraged. It seems to me that the symptoms of PMR -fatigue and pain- come and go at different levels, along with the sed rate. Over the past few years I have been up and down the charts with prednisone doses- up and down with pain, and the fatigue I have all the time. Right now my doctor is continuing to taper the prednisone; now at 7/6mg alternate days for two weeks. My sed rate is holding at normal. The real test, as we all know is 5mg. I believe it does get better, but very slowly. Please let me know how you are doing. Ida
