PMRpro -tried your suggestion but

thanks PMRpro -I have tried that- 2mg night before(late evening)+ 8 @ 6.30 am. It was no different ,tried for 2wks & then back to 9.5mg

@ 6.30 am. Tired, at times body ache all over, back to the DeathWU and pain killers-Para+Caf. Could it be the weather? It has been quite warm down here @ Brighton.-just a sheet and wdws open @night.Physio has signed me off- just for back ache, found it difficult against PMR .although tried to help but.............I regret it has been getting at me but putting it down to the weather!-blame it all the time!-sorry to come back, have you Crystal ball? but just your words of wisdom John

Anything is worth trying - but everyone is different. As I suggested elsewhere - maybe you need a tad more pred????? And weather can be a factor in all rheumatic disorders.

Has your GP checked bloods recently? Thyroid, vit D, and probbaly a few other things...
