Sue, I was diagnosed with PMR in March of 2001. I am still on Prednisone, but decreasing the dosage very slowly. The fatigue lasts quite some time, and can increase with a flare. The best thing I have found is to rest when you feel fatigued...this may mean several naps a day. I was unable to work for 5 months after diagnosis...I wish you well. Prednisone gave me back my life, but it has been hell trying to get off of it!
