Hi,
Lovely to hear from you again, but not necessarily the circumstances.
Your last post about 3 months ago said you were on 2.5mg - still at that? Maybe not quite enough.
Fatigue could be adrenals maybe, have you had them checked?
Would say that if you’ve still got niggles/aches you had last time, then maybe an small increase may be enough to deal with it. Just try an extra mg for a week or so and see if it makes any significant difference. If it doesn’t, you might need more if it’s PMR.
But of course you could try paracetamol for a couple of days first just in case it’s not PMR.
Please let us know.
Just one shoulder? Is that significant?
Not what you're looking for?
