Hi Sandy, I'm glad to hear from you! I think the stress in your life is causing you more fatigue and pain, even though you are on 8 mg of Prednisone. Stress is not good for people with rheumatic disorders, but who can get rid of it! All you can do is try to find some time for yourself, where you can take your mind off of the stressors for a little while at least. I find that I relax when I'm on my computer writing and reading email, and surfing. I find it very helpful to post on this Healthlink site! It's therapeutic to be able to share with you and others who have Polymyalgia! There aren't any support groups in my part of the world for people with PMR, but there are some for those with fibromyalgia, but that's quite different from what we have, so these boards are great! Hang in there, Sandy, and let us know how you are doing. I hope you feel better every day! Shar
