Thanks for replying to my advise. There are other factors in your medical situation that might be contributing to your symptoms. One of them is that you have been treated with Methrotexate and Prednisone. Both medications can make you feel like that, specially Prednisone that can give you fatigue and mood changes.

I understand that and have discussed that with Dr. Would going off 1 tablet of hydrocodone a day for the last 2 years---have that effect?

I don't think that it would make this effect. You might need to review what you are eating and try to keep the exercise program.
