I am tapered down to 4 from 15. For the last month my hands have been sore. My question is if I continue to taper and most of my discomfort is sore hands can I safely live with that without causing some other damage? My rheumatologist is nervous about my continuing to taper. Current plan is taper one mg per month so ideally I have 4 months left on prednisone.

I also have a theory that splitting my dose into twice a day might be helpful so that is what I am trying. I don't want my body to think there is an abundant extra supply but I am not a doctor and have no way to substantiate my theory.

I also am experiencing some light headedness which I had investigated at the emergency room with no definitive finding. Investigation included catscan ekg and bloodwork.
