I agree with the comments. I found it to be 6 months to start feeling better. I have said and many others that they never reached their old self. It is true that sort of an adrenal fatigue stays with you. Even being off prednisone it leaves a lasting mark. I do not have any suggestion. I went and had a full hormone panel. I found my testosterone was a little low. I then started looking at any other medications. I found the zetia for cholesterol was causing some fatigue. Dadcue posted a video from Dr Megan. She described the restarting of your cortisol as more like watching the sun set. You do have to be careful. Try to still manage your stress. Watch your diet. Live a pretty bland life. I had 2 what I would call the start of a flare. I took a prednisone pack for 5 days like you would treating asthma. Both times it was gone. I have had no flares in the last 2 years.

@tuckerp Your comments so interesting. The fatigue is what is killing me and no one seems to be able to help me. Extreme weakness.
