I do hope you overcome these problems soon but you have given me some sense of credibility as I've told my rheumy about my extreme tiredness, blurry vision, etc and she looks at me as if it shouldn't be happening and is looking for some diagnosis other than PMR and GCA now......I thought these were side effects of the pred. I'm on but she seems not to think that.

Hi Steph

I have the same problems and have been told if the blurriness gets worse to go to A &E The last time I went the blurriness was caused by dry eye. I get this a lot and they have prescribed drops that I use every 4 hours. they do help. I also get the same pains especially the lower back pain. The more I try and do the worse it gets and I really have to sit down or fall down. I am always tired and everything is an effort.
