CLIPPERS: Looking to connect with others

I to have clippers for two years and live in San Diego. It is a long haul and prednisone is no fun. I have just gotten off of it and have been experiencing being very tired. One can be functional but to be as you were before is asking for a lot. Yes, you can die from it and it is enough for me to be happy to be functional and alive.

Hi Jim, I know all about that that dreadful fatigue. For me, it went away after a few months. I also had a lot of joint pain and that also very slowly subsided. Hang in there! I think I’m pretty much back to my pre-CLIPPERS self in most ways. My brain is a bit different, energy runs out a little faster, but all in all, I’m filled with gratitude for being okay.

Welcome, @jimvosacek! Glad you found Mayo Clinic Connect! No one is happy to get Clippers, but you sound really down. Do you have a good rheumatologist or neurologist? If not, check at a university hospital or a major medical center. That’s where you’ll find the best doctors! I’m starting on year 8 and my biggest problem is keeping positive. Some things are just so hard. But you’ve come to the right place to get help.
