Clicking or ratcheting in the joints Mood
Thursday, June 4, 2009 | A Frustrating story
Even after taking prednisone for a few months, the pain is gone in my joints but I still have a clicking, popping, or a ratcheting effect mostly in my shoulders.  I have noticed considerable loss of strength all over my body.  I have noticed in the warmer weather fatigue sets in much faster.  I now need cooler weather approximately 9° cooler than I have in the past. It could be 75° outside but I will feel like it's 84° out.  When it has been comfortable enough for my caregivers I am always hot.  I live in Wisconsin winters without need for gloves anymore, and when I come in from the cold weather, my hands are very warm.  Were talking from the teens to the upper 20s Fahrenheit without any gloves outside.  Has anybody else experienced these symptoms up above.  Sure it's great on the heating bills, that I have not had for the past five months (energy assistance help) and last month's bill only $4.63.  My body temperature is normal 98.6 but my internal thermostat is 9° off. This is why I am always warm all the time.
