Feeling tired! Do others with PMR feel significantly more tired?
Polymyalgia Rheumatica (PMR) | Last Active: Jun 1, 2023 | Replies (75)Comment receiving replies
Fatigue is intermittent, usually occurs when I wean. I am currently working on reducing my dose from 25 to 22.5mg over the course of a month and was surprised at how tired I was after a few days. If I sit down at all I doze off. I guess I thought it wouldn't kick in until my dose was lower. It doesn't occur when I have to drive thank goodness.

Yes, some days I need a nap in the morning. And I feel very tired at other points in the day, worse about 2 pm. Between the PMR and steroids, hard to know what causes the fatigue, but it may be the new normal. Take naps and don’t feel guilty. Listening to music helps. Right now at 18.5 mgs medrol. Plan to go down to 16 in 11 days. Will see how it goes.
