I am now about 16 months into the PMR, coming off of a flare (reducing 7 mg to 6 mg) and I am following the valuable advice of this forum! I have noticed, since the flare, that my days of exhaustion are unpredictable. Eating right, resting, activity level, stress...one day I can barely get up mid-day, the next day is ok.
Is this typical "flare consequences"? Thanks for any input.

flares are precipitated by stress every time, never see it coming but in
retrospect "overdoing it" physically and worry (a waste of time, when will
I learn) and down I go - then I'm forced to rest and I'm OK for several
weeks until it pops up again. I try not to increase my prednisone at this time
but take Tylenol as needed, everything eventually rights itself. That's my way
of dealing with this wretched disease, I don't know if it works this way for others.
Good luck Kathy.
