                        Hi Shar-  Hope the 15mg, then the 10mg of prednisone is helping. Don't be discouraged. This disease goes up and down. I agree that the fatigue is the worst part. I notice the pain also comes and goes. Of course, at 5mg, the pain returns. But, I have noticed pain that I can't put a reason to- unless it might be during a taper. I just started 7mg. It will be interesting. I dread the time when the taper goes to 5mg. Maybe this time will be different. My rheumatolgist checks my joints every so often- it might be true that PMR can lead to RA. It's worth a question.  Hope you are feeling better. Please keep me posted.  Ida
