                        I too have had PMR for over a year.  I was glad to read your postings about the fatigue because I am having terrible fatigue.  I was at 5 mg for a year but also supplemented with 25 mg vioxx which controled it pretty good but after a year of vioxx I was having pretty severe stomach problems and worried about taking so much of it.  I quit vioxx and my symptoms flared up real bad at 5 mg.  My rheum won't let me have more than 5mg predisone but I took it upon myself to start again at 20 for a week and go down by 2 1/2 a week.  I felt great at 20, mentally and physically.  I didn't have too  much pain at 7.5 but lots of fatigue.  I just started 5 today.  after reading your postings I may alternate between 5 and 6 for a week.  Anyway it is good to know that the fatigue goes along with it.  I was worried about that.Marilyn
