I can tell you I feel better after I exercise. I am going on month 8 of prednisone. Down to 4.5mg. I have not stopped running and lifting. Yes, the fatigue is bad, but I push through it. I don't know how exercise could hurt. Ask your rheumatologist.

@cyndiefromnc
I know that exercise always makes me feel better. I started Prednisone 6 weeks ago 10, 7,5 and now on 5 mg the last 3 weeks. The tentative plan is to go 4, 3, 2, 1 mg for a month each. When I tried to go back to heavier weights and higher impact cardio I could feel a tinge of what a flare up could be so back to low impact etc. WALKING and stretching is very good.
