Anyone have discomfort or pain when tapering off prednisone?

This is very helpful thank you and after nearly 2 years it is the conclusion I have come to am now doing 2mg and 1mg on alternate days and sore and flu like but want to be off it. This site has been helpful in that the difficulties with a taper of prednisone are not uncommon and that slow and steady is best and tolerating discomfort, thank you again.

Prednisone and PMR are like a bad marriage. They both love each other but end up not being good for each other. Your so close to the end. Assuming your on prednisone. 2mg of dex is 10mg prednisone. But either way its slow and steady. There really are not any drugs for making your body restart cortisol. You have to just keep coaxing it to do so.
