My new rheumatologist (I fired the first one after an awful start) has me supplementing the Prednisone as with a Meloxicam at dinner. I resisted at first but it made all the difference. She also encouraged me to do Tylenol as needed when I need it - usually that's for a day or two after lowering the dosage. I'm
now at 10mg after starting in 9/23 at 20mg and losing the first 6 months with the "bad" rheumatologist.
Experimentation has been key!
