Thanks for the advice Teri. With the help of my doctor, I'm working through tapering off the prednisone and supplementing it with other RX solutions. The biggest change I'm tackling is the letting go part. I've got a highly stressful job that must be addressed. It's ok for change, in that I'm 62 and can actually afford to cut back and ease into retirement. Saying it is much easier than doing it 😉 It's hard to take a lifestyle that has driven me for over 40 years and just turn it off. I'm sure I'll find something new to pour myself into that does not involve stress.

Good luck, fazz. Maybe go where your interests or passions take you and give yourself the time to find what you want to do. I had a stessful job as well. When I retired I didn't want to do anything similar. All my health problems came up after retirement, which gave me the time to take care of them. I cannot imagine working with PMR, though. That would have been so difficult. All the best, Teri
