Just to let the group (and terrym) know that I am experiencing the same thing with my wrists and fingers as I tamper from 15 to 12.5.

Same thing here…wrists and fingers in AM, gone by 1400. Flexing wrists and squeezing a rubber ball for a few minutes seems to help. Presently tapered to 9. Since SED test is now in normal range, rheumy says we are now no longer treating PMR with prednisone, and now we need to continue tapering and deal with osteoporosis as causing current hand issues.
