Yes, it is for me. I wake up with extreme pain in my fingers and wrists as well as the usual pain in my hips and lower back. After 2 mgs. of Prednisone, the pain is gone in an hour. Yes, normally our pain is worst when we wake up and then tapers off, but this has me living pain free in my hands and wrists 15 of my 16 waking hours.

That’s amazing. Great for you but amazing to me. I’m not sure 2mg would trigger anything in me. Did you start there or Taper down to there?
