Dear Shar, Thank you for writing back to me. When I first discovered that I had this illness I thought I was the only one. Now, through HealthlinkUSA I have come to realize that I am definately not alone. I'm still on 8mg. of Prednisone and have had a lot of stress lately because of illness in the family so I am not expecting to reduce my dosage when I see the doctor again next week. I don't know if stress has anything to do with it but I seem to be extra achy these days. I don't take any other medication but I am on several vitamins to protect my bones. I take calcium with vitamin D twice a day and I also take Fosamax once a week. I did have a bone density test several years ago which was good but I haven't had one lately. I'm almost always tired and always achy but I try to keep my energy level up since I have a lot of family responsibilities. Hope you are doing well and everyone with this PMR should feel better with time. Good Luck, Sandy
