You might want to give this tapering plan a try to see if it can help you get off of prednisone.

Hello John, I have just started that method today as after a flare up I had to wait until I was stable on the lowest I could reduce to which for the moment is 6mg. I have made a chart in a word document that will keep me focused on how much to take each day. I would be happy to send you a copy of this if you think you could use it to help others. Thank you so much for the work you do and the advice and support you give. Kind regards, Mary

Thank you so much for this very helpful information John. I will now increase my prednisolone to 5mg or to the level I need to be to remove pain and then start on this method of reduction. This is the first time I have heard of a possible alternative to get off of prednisolone.
