I'm not taking prednisone and haven't for about a year. I do think I have "overwhelming fatigue." I don't want to go anywhere or do anything. This just isn't living, I was diagnosed with PMR in 2012. But I'm not sure what is causing the fatigue.

Kind of the same. Off Prednisone for 5 months.
I have always proceeded through life at double speed and could accomplished much without tiring. Always slept well.
PMR diagnosis came after Carpal Tunnel surgery. I was already losing sleep due to wrist/hand pain. Fatigue has been an issue since. Can’t help but think the constant body issues play a huge roll in fatigue (whether we sleep well at night or not). I have always tried to listen to my body but still try not to nap as the nap turns into too much sleep - don’t want to sleep my life away.
Don’t know what to do about it - trying hard to eat better and definitely avoid “added sugar”; also drink plenty of water - even when I get up during the night; get outside and take walks.

Have you mentioned it to your doctor and asked if they can test to see if your adrenal glands are back to full function and if cortisol production has returned to normal after being on the steroids for so long?
