Hi Ida, How are you? It was good to see your post! I hope that your taper to 8/9 on Prednisone is finally working for you. I know how awful it can feel to be extra achy and fatigued with a taper, but if we are lucky, and the disease cooperates, then the taper will finally work. It takes a lot of time and patience, and I know it isn't much fun. Yes, I have pain in my joints, especially in a few fingers and the balls of my feet. I have some new pain which just came about in the last week or so, and it's in my wrists. I have some pain in my elbows and the back of my neck too. I think most of these symptoms are from RA, but it's hard to know for sure. PMR doesn't usually go to the joints. I've had a lot of fatigue too. I'm planning on calling my rheumy tomorrow about the wrist pain and increased fatigue. Maybe, he'll start the process of getting me on Enbrel sooner. I desperately need more energy! Let me know how you are doing on your taper. I hope you are feeling much better. Hang in there! It's so good to hear from you! Please post soon! Happy Easter! Shar
