This is late commentary, but hope you quit taking ibuprofen for pain. Tylenol is okay when you're on prednisone but no NSA IDs. Maybe someone else can benefit if they haven't been given this information. It's amazing what doctors don't bother to tell you.
Hi @mild835, after nearly a year of PMR (undiagnosed) and other symptoms, I was extremely fatigued and shaky in the mornings. I had to sit down or feel like I would pass out. My blood work showed anemia before I got the Giant Cell Arteritis diagnosis. It was anemia of chronic inflammation caused by the disorder and resolved with the proper dosage of prednisone.
