Polymyalgia and Prednisone

Hi Shar- Hope you are still doing OK on the 10 mg. How long do you have to stay on it before lowering the dose? The first week of a taper is the hardest. Also, I am guessing that the sed rate and how a patient feels are not always in sync. There have been times when my sed rate was normal but I felt awful with the pain and fatigue. So, who knows with this strange disease. I am going to start the taper to 7mg/6mg on Aug. 1. And I am going to stick with it for at least two weeks (Dr's orders) and then we'll see. Right now on the 7 mg daily, I feel OK, not a lot of energy, but also not much pain or terrible fatigue either. I hope your doctors figure out what is happening with you and that you soon feel better. Please let me know how you are doing. Ida
