Chronic Fatigue while tapering Prednisone for PMR

I'm currently at 7.5mg and first noticed a slight drop in energy at 8mg, which I dismissed as a passing thing. The fatigue is worse now and my daily habit of doing something several times every day in the garden is feeling almost impossible right now.
The new tiredness is frustrating. And I've just noticed that my daily recording of blood pressure has all the wrong dates for the last week and I've had to change them. The brain seems to be fogging up as well. How usual is lethargy with reductions and at what reduction dose is it most likely?

Maybe you are reducing too fast. I waited until I reached a good place and I felt relaxed and somewhat physically comfortable and then cut back and then took it easy until I reached a better place again. This isn't going to be an illness that you will get over quickly and it could be years. my advice would be, step back a dose level and talk to your doctor.
