I have experienced the overwhelming fatigue while tapering. After 3 years since original PMR diagnosis, it’s taken lots of patience and some setbacks in trying to get off the prednisone. Currently alternating with 2mg/1.5mg. My rheumatologist believes I’ll be continuing the methotrexate for possibly the long term. She increased my daily folic acid to 3 grams for the fatigue and it has helped. Asking if any others have remained on MTZ after getting weaned off the prednisone and for how long. Also if anyone else has had the folic acid increased.
Now that Winter has passed it seems to help as well with keeping a positive attitude. Have kept up with exercise throughout this ordeal and hope to be done with prednisone for good in the near future. Slow and steady is key.
