Hi Shar- It's good to hear from you. I hope you are feeling better. Don't rush the taper. I have found I can tolerate a very slow taper and I think my doctors have finally realized it too. So maybe the same for you. I will be on 9/8mg for at least 6 to 8 weeks more. I think the massive doses of antibiotics I take have made a difference. I have less fatigue, although I still have the good old stiffness and aches. Also, I forgot, for bones, I also take Actonel once a week. I try to walk and my internist just prescribed exercising with light weights on my ankles. I guess my muscles have lost tone,(along with everything else.) My rheumatologist said some people have PMR longer than the two to four years. I hope you feel better soon. Take care, Ida
