Any Tips For Tapering Off Prednisone?

I will keep you posted after my visit with the rheumatologist. Hopefully, I will be down lower with my prednisone. Wish I could get all my appts at once. How do manage to do that?

Sometimes I get lucky and I’m able to get maybe 2 appointments on the same day, but usually that’s maybe one doctor and a special procedure (ie-mammogram) appointment! I do get multiple lab orders from different doctors, and sometimes I do them all at once rather then separately before each doctors appointment. They usually share all the results anyway. Honestly, I get phone call reminders every week from my health insurance provider and it gets old!! 😂Example: it’s time to get your diabetic foot exam, time for your mammogram, time for your flu shot, upcoming appointments, etc,etc!!!😂
I know it’s a good thing to be reminded, especially of upcoming appointments, but I literally get 2 or 3 reminders regarding the same appointment!
Despite all this I wouldn’t change my provider— I worked for them for 20 years and deep down I love the way they do things—they are very much into preventative medicine, but are still very current on all the latest therapies and medicines!
