Chronic Fatigue while tapering Prednisone for PMR

The fatigue sometimes is so bad that I barely make it to the bed. But, as I am tapering down from 80 mg to 15 mg I am finding that I do not experience the fatigue as much now. Every time I taper I never know what will happen. Hang in. The best to you.

My tapering has been similar - hard to know how difficult it maybe. I have tapered from 40 to 3mg in the last 1 3/4 years - and sometimes it has been easier than others. Right now I am trying to get down to two, but forgot to take my evening dose of 1mg once or twice - and I had a little bit of a flare up.

Quick question, have either one of you dealt with having to go to the bathroom an excessive amount - a lot of times urgently?
