Yes - a common side effect of pred I'm afraid! But it is also a symptom of PMR and it is possible it is both.

We ALL want to get a low low dose - but don't try to force it as you run the risk of having to go back to the beginning.
Wear layers so you can take things off. I had a fan handy. Keep the heating a bit lower than usual. And some ladies used sweat bands a la John McEnroe!
