I am tapering off of Prednisone started in 15mg in February now on 6mg reducing by 1 mg every two weeks when down to 5 to reduce from 5 by 1mg every month so it takes a long while. I am finding now as the dose decreases I am experiencing nausea and tiredness. My rheumatologist wants me to start Methotrexate by injection and also ilanoprost by infusion as I also have Raynaud’s disease and Scleroderma. I really want to get off of steroids but as struggling
