Feeling tired! Do others with PMR feel significantly more tired?

Oh yes, moonface! Also depending on the dosage, a fat ring can develop around the back of your neck. Also, increased appetite and mood swings. Having said that, prednisone does help with the pain of internal inflammations. In my opinion, it is a blessing and curse all at once. I'm still unable to get off prednisone after 4 years.

Thank you...all of the above. Dosage is now 15 mg. Mood swings are terrible. I feel so angry sometimes, particularly in the morning. Also, quite shakey. Appetite had settled down, but since trying to wean, my appetite has increased. It is quite the roller coaster ride. Thank you for your response. 🙂
