                        I have just been diagnosed with this  due to a high sed rate, aches and pains. I'd like to know how we got it  and is it normal to run a five year time  span?  This is what I am concluding readng all 18 of the messages!  My doctor isn't totally convinced that is my problem. He ordered  another blood test that came back and could   be a false positive. It will be repeated  in 30 days.  In the meantime, I am on  10 mg of prednisone, down from 60 mg!  I have about 2 to 3 hours of energy a  day and then I nap to get more. Is there  anyone else like me? The least chore  ends my day, can't plan outings etc.  Thanks, Barbara
