Yes it is a bit early for the adrenal glands to start waking up, but PMR does cause fatigue anyway.

Not for everyone - we do quote the figure of 7.5mg, but it is an average [depends on individual] - as explained in this link -

Some people start to feel tired around the 10mg mark - it is a very personal thing and if you also have anything else going on, at UTI, a mild viral infection, needing to do more, it is more obvious.
The onset of adrenal fatigue may also be affected by the amount of prednisone being absorbed. I feel like I'm beating a dead horse on this one, but adrenal fatigue strikes me much earlier than most.
Hi
I can sympathize as I have just started getting this awful fatigue.
I have reduced from 18 mg a year ago to 8mg today. Everything has been good until a few days ago when this awful fatigue set in. Really hard to get going in the morning. I am trying a few supplements to see if they will help. I am happy to have been able to reduce after being on prednisone for 6&1/2 years. It has been a real struggle but this was the first time I could actually reduce.
Good luck and hope the fatigue lifts soon😊
have a look at this link , if not already seen -healthunlocked.com/pmrgcauk...
That was very informative.I think for me being under stress could mean adrenaline deficiency?Still in hotel aft.the pipe burst Xmas morning.They agreed to fix the damage aft two months but our insurance is running out at the end of month.We have no where to go.My kids have stairs and my husband has a walker.
I've reduced from 50 mg to 7 mg over last few years. I feel exhausted every time I taper but especially when I got to 10 and under. I know it is said that around 7 is the danger zone. One thing I have learned in this process is that there are only general guidelines but I found my journey to be completely different to the norm. Listen to your own body.
