HI @pmrsuzie I know there have been other answers to your question elsewhere -- CVS tablets of Prednisone ( in Massachusetts at any rate) are scored , and I had 1mg , 2.5 mg and 5 mg tablets. One can devise all sorts of tapering schemes ! And I assume you have a proper pill cutter - not a knife . And I learned from others in Connect how strange* you will feel tapering below ~5 mg . I'll try to find the conversation I remember .
* But not a flare up !

I have 2 pill cutters. I am now somewhat reluctant to not follow the Drs tapering schedule and split the pills.
And yes, below 5mg, what seems to be a pmr flare may not be a pmr flare.
For now I'm not splitting anymore pills.
I see Rheum in a couple weeks. The last 2 months my CRP has been slightly elevated.
