Hi Ida, Well, you and I are doing about the same! Oh my! I'm on 10 mg of Prednisone too, and I can't imagine what I would feel like without it! What in the world is going on with us, Ida? I thought that by now the PMR would be on it's way out, but it's worse than it was a year ago! Now I'm on Methotrexate along with the Prednisone. At least I'm seeing improvement in the pain and stiffness, but the fatigue is still with me. Like you, I find the fatigue to be the worst part of this disease! My foot is a little less painful, but I would like it to clear up entirely. It's hard to walk on it. I try to ignore the pain, so that I can get some exercise. My doctor thinks it's just the PMR being very stubborn and that it's a bad flare. I don't think he is certain though. When I asked him if he thinks I still have PMR, he said that it's academic now, since he put me on Methotrexate, which is good for PMR and/or RA. I have an appointment with my rheumy one week after your's, Ida. It will be interesting to hear what they have to say to us. How is your pain on the 10 mg dose of Prednisone? What does your doctor say about the fatigue? Mine says it's part of PMR and it's also a part of RA. Either way, it's frustrating to have to deal with it every day, so I certainly know how you feel about it! My best wishes go to you, Ida! I hope you are feeling better soon! I'll vote for our good health to return too! Thank you so much for posting! Let me know how you are doing. Shar
