@caroljeand It sounds like your adrenal glands have a ways to go yet before they are fully functional. Two weeks after I stopped pred I had a couple of weeks of withdrawal, where I had some mood swings and fatigue. About a month after I stopped I felt my metabolism recover. It took about 4 months for me to feel fully recovered from the prednisone.

@jeff97 thank you… I’m assuming the same. Helpful to know how long to expect to feel somewhat normal.
I guess I was hoping it would be quicker as I was on prednisone just under 6 months. I have to patient with myself and not expect to come out of this circus without some pains and fatigue.
