Hello, so sorry you are having this problem with prednisone tapering! Maybe your doctor needs to slow it down more— like be on each dose a month or two? Has he discussed putting you on Actemra? It does seem to help patients wean off prednisone for good!
Best wishes on your journey!

My rheumatologist moved back to Florida but he discussed trying me on Kevzara before he left. I'm planning to ask my PCP about it at my next checkup.
