Yes but why on pred: It depends why you are on prednisone. That may be the reason for your fati gue. Prednisone can interfere with quality sleep and this can cause fatigue. You can discuss your fatigue with your physician. Often daytime fatigue is due to poor quality of sleep and a sleep study may help.
