It sounds like you might be tapering too fast. 2.5 mg is a big drop. I know you're worried about the side effects of prednisone,

Yes. It wasn’t such a big drop when the starting point was 25 mg, but it is much more than 10% now. If the increase helps my symptoms abate, I think I’ll start dropping by 1 mg at that point and perhaps wait a month rather than the two weeks.
