                        Hello Adele,  Thank you for your encouraging words!  A slow taper of the Prednisone works for you, and that is what I'm hearing from others too.  I am going to talk to my doctor about tapering more slowly, and see what he says.  In the last few months, I have had several relpases each time the dose was tapered.  I am now on 10 mg after being on 15 mg and then down to 12.5 mg recently.  I am very fatigued again, and I am quite discouraged.  I have to take a nap every day, and that wasn't the case for me last fall and winter, and back then, I was on 7.5 mg of Prednisone.  I feel like I am going backwards with this Polymyalgia!  I hope it turns around soon!    It sounds like you are making progress!  I hope you keep seeing good results!  Please post soon and let me know how you are doing.  Thanks again for your help!  Shar
