I am experiencing extreme fatigue most days with occasional spurts of energy. My primary doctor does not want to see me or do bloodwork unless I experience shortness of breath when walking until after I’m off of prednisone. I used to have boundless energy with 5/6 hours of sleep. Now I can’t stay awake after 8pm and sleep 9+ hours easily and readily fall asleep throughout the day if not involved in an activity. I’m very hypersensitive to medications and have an eye condition where my eyes feel very irritated and heavy most of the time. I shut my eyes for relief and fall asleep. I don’t know if it’s PMR, depression, prednisone, etc.
