My name is Beryl ....having had PMR for many years and being on three mg of ped for around two years and I am to keep it at that ....only going up if need be ....doctors orders.....
I have always got pain and have been able to ignore it, during the day at night I can't as it stops me sleeping and will get worse if I didn't take something for it ......I have to take one Norco table when I go to bed , this sometimes sees me through the night at other times it won't and I have to take another half ....it's all ups and downs ......there has been time when I have been perfectly fine at bedtime and I must say then I don't even think about taking anything but this is rare at the moment as I am away in Sicily for the winter and the weather is cold .....yes they are having a bad winter and I am sure cold adds to your pain to....
Just hope when I get back home things get better ......I hope also you can find a common denominator as this seems to be hard to achieve ......best of luck Beryl

Thanks Beryl for the reply and encouragement. The night/early hours of the morning are bad for me. I want to get back to a state where I can take a vacation with my daughter this year. In the past we have done this together, while her husband looks after all our pets/dogs and cats, but last year I just couldn't make it. This winter, in the "hill country" of Texas has been very cold, and being born and raised in sunny Sydney, I hate the cold. However, at one time I could force myself to wrap up warmly and take my dog to the river and walk the trails for an hour. But this year I cannot manage it. I enjoy reading and writing, so I can fill my days, but I do miss the outdoors, as I was an active runner and tennis player, also a master naturalist. As much as I dislike/hate the prednisone, I've decided to have some quality of life I must use it Thanks again for your kind words. Maggie 🙂
