Whether it's fatigue or weak muscles It's a feeling that i do not want to use the energy it will take me to get out of chair. I know I can do it and know I can also do some minor chore but it is also going to be very difficult to do.

This will happen when I am sleepy tired and I will dose but also when I'm alert and I might sit for hours watching TV wide awake.

My reduction of pred has been at 2 month intervals. Last month from 20 to 15mg. but I took 20 mg yesterday and again this morning.

I got up this morning feeling pretty good. ( 5 A.M. ) So I went golfing and played 12 holes. Would have played more but It was getting warm and I knew I would pay. I took my wife to the DR. today, waited 3 hrs. and its now 5 P.M. and i'm feeling pretty good.

It is hard to believe that 5 extra mg's could make such a difference.

But I just had my IGIV infusions 6 and 7 days ago and maybe they are just starting to kick in but I am going to do 20mg's EOD. I'm going to call neuro and tell him but sure he will be ok with him until I see him next.

Extra pred or IGIV. Still a mystery. I'll keep experiencing with the pred.
