could someone help please. I am down now to 12.5 mg of Prednisone. Although my pain is not too bad I am so abjectly tired all the time. Does anyone else suffer from this tiredness. It is a living death and I have a very sick husband to take care of at the same time.

I’m not a doc nor in the medical field, but I have had Hashimoto’s disease for 15 years and PMR for 2. It seems to me that autoimmune conditions cause inflammation. A dr friend told me that the pain is from the inflammation. When I started on the appropriate meds for both conditions, the pain went away. The pain for each conditions is in different areas of my body, so I can increase my meds depending on where the pain is. The thyroid condition doesn’t seem to have the ups and downs that the PMR does, it’s more of a gradual thing. With the PMR pain I only increased small amounts of pred until the pain diminished. I would rather take more pred than be in constant pain and pretty much worthless.
Hope you find some relief.
