I sympathize on the fatigue. I've had a lot of that, too. But I turned 72 last week so it's hard to tell how much of my slowing down is Pred and how much is age. I can relate about your job too and not trying to rub it in but I LOVE being retired! It's a perk of old age as far as I'm concerned. lol I'm hoping that when I can taper completely off Prednisone---if I can---my eyes and bruised arms will clear up. My hair was always very thick until the Prednsone and that's very much a possible side effect. The weird thing is mine is growing back in curly. It's never been curly. The texture is different too, much finer. It's crazy I know. Wishing you the very best! It's right at 100 degrees every day where I live, so I can relate to that too.
