Fatigue is one of the components of PMR. I have been dealing with PMR for over three years. I am one of the unfortunates who has not gone into remission. I am currently taking 7.5 mgs of prednisone daily and am titrating at .5 mg per month. I am still hoping for remission.

Hello, Pauletta@rachelp, I really have to agree with you that fatigue is huge when you have PMR. I was diagnosed in Oct’18 and still can’t get rid of it! Was on 25 mgms Prednisone and finally, got down to 1.5...then it raised its ugly head again and I’m now back on 10 mgms. It’s in my hands and wrists as well as shoulders. Yes, still hoping for remission...or more energy! John has been very helpful, giving advice on what to read, etc. It appears that not too many people know about PMR and that makes this MC blog so very helpful. Good luck with your remission.
