Has anyone experienced severe muscle aches/pain and fatigue while being on prednisone for two consecutive prescriptions?

Hi Laurie @artist01 - Here's the PMR Anyone? discussion - https://connect.mayoclinic.org/discussion/pmr-anyone/

Also, The Lancet Rheumatology site is great but a lot of the articles are fee based. You can search the site easily for PMR or GCA - https://www.thelancet.com/journals/lanrhe/home

@johnbishop. A further thankyou, John, for the Lancet site referral. It's the only place I've been able to find anything much on GCA. Too bad the cost is quite prohibitive - approx $32 per article. (Which you warned me about.)
That meant that I could only read the preamble to each article. If anything is really relevant to my present GCA condition, I'll likely spring for the cost! There was one article I'm considering paying for. If I decide to loosen my purse strings, I'll have to watch for all the moths flying out! Lol. Hate spending that kind of money!! Thanks again, John. My best to you. Laurie

@artist01 and @tsc - An easy way to point someone to a specific discussion or a post if you are reading it and know where it is -- click the three dots at the lower right corner of a post or a discussion and select Copy link to clipboard. Then paste it like I did here except I clicked the three dots by the discussion and not this post.

@johnbishop. One more question, John - I've copied the links to the sites you posted, so now they're on the Clipboard. How in the world do I access items on the Clipboard? How do I view the Clipboard?
Where is it? I love technology but sometimes....lol.
Thanks again, Techie Guru. You are so helpful and we all appreciate you so very much! ❤ 😊

@artist01 -- Here's another trick you might try. If you have the reference to the article from Lancet, just go to Google Scholar (https://scholar.google.com/) and search for the topic using the phrase from the title of the Lancet article and you may find articles that are free on the same research.

@johnbishop . WOW, John, excellent tip! Thankyou.
But...I would still like to learn how/where I can see items on my Clipboard. How does one access the Clipboard? ❤ Laurie

I think the clipboard only holds one item at a time. If you copy something to the clipboard it only saves the last thing you copied. I use Notepad and save links in a text file and give it a name (like Links.txt) and save it to my desktop or another convenient place I can remember 😊 Then all you have to do is open the text file with your saved links and copy whichever one you want then paste it into your browser's URL address at the top if it's a link and you can open the page.

Normally when you copy anything it goes to the clipboard and when you paste it somewhere it comes from the clipboard.

Try this... Hit Windows+V (the Windows key to the left of the space bar, plus “V”) and a Clipboard panel will appear that shows the history of items you've copied to the clipboard. You can go back as far as you like to any of the last 25 clips.

I only use my cell phone. Samsung Galaxy S9. Can't go to Windows. Anything I could do on the cell phone?
