Pretty normal really. PMR makes you tired as your muscles are dealing with high levels of inflammation ( a little like having exercised too much even though you haven't). The prednisone helps in getting rid of the inflammation and assisting with energy levels. It's possible that you just need more time on your current dose to balance out or that your current dose may be a bit on the low side.
