PMR, PREDNISONE, FATIGUE

May be a silly question, but can the fatigue of too much activity be cumulative? Fatigue has really been an issue for me since I got PMR about 16 months ago. I can be functioning okay on the prednisone but then suddenly I am "wiped out" for a couple of days.

Anyone else have this happen? Thank you.

    Hi Kathy, yes I can identify with you.  Having said that I have ME/CFS for 14 years and then diagnosed November past with PMR.  I cannot get a handle on the fatigue, don't necessarily want to sleep but just so weak I cannot do much.  When you can just rest, rest and more rest.  I know it's a pain in the butt yet I have to accept it, it is what it is and I will get better, not cured.  Hopefully as time goes on you will see an improvement.  Good luck on your journey.  Regards Pat
