    I feel for you having suffered similarly when I was on Pred.  Have bee symptom free for over foyr years now

    Is it all the time or can you associate it with the time you take your Pred.?

    What dose are you on and is it PMR, GCA or both? I guess as you are only three months in you will be on the starter dose 

    which is usually 15 to 25 for PMR but much higher, maybe 60 if it's GCA.

    I ask about the time you take you pred. because my GP said it might help to take in the evening instead of morning and it worked for me. 

    Hope you get it sorted; I know how exhausting it can be.

    Apologies; I completely misunderstood your first post so my reply was not much use. I read it as though you had just started on Pred. three months ago not been off it. Good job others were more switched on than I was.
