Hi

After 3 years on pred, reducing slowly I got down to 1mg but was still experiencing pain, I wasn't sure if this was PMR related or not.

.Around  6 months ago I stopped taking pred altogether, the pain hasn't got any worse and it isn't the same pain as I had when I first started with PMR, it was so intense then I had bursitis in my neck at the back of my head, in my and elbows and could hardly move.

The  pain I have now is achey, neck, elbows wrists, knees and most painful my feet.  I have headaches and migraines, which are new to me.   I have restless legs, carpel tunnel,  and diverticulitis, I don't sleep well sometimes because of pain, but then there are times when I do get a good nights sleep and the following day the pain is less.     I'm wondering if I have fibromyalgia.

Anyone familiar with this ?
