Hope someone has also experienced this...was diagnosed with PMR about 8 years ago.  Four years of Prednisone and finally better.  Now some years later starting to experience some of the issues especially extreme tiredness, some muscle issues but not as much as last time.  Sed Rate and C-Reative protein are normal.  But it's the same feeling of extreme tiredness that the PMR started with the first time.  Thanks

    I found that My mother who had GCA in 2010 and seemed to go into remission 2 years later developed other autoimmune problems which the med Drs have since seemed to have fixed, however she has not ever recovered her energy and is tired all the time.  I have been trying to figure out how to solve this problem as her carer, however all I have tried have failed - other than that she says she is feeling fine
