You do what you want, but decreasing that quickly is likely to cause a major relapse. I’m in my 7th year and just managed to go to 3.5 ml without pain. I accept I may be on Pred at low dose for life which is not the end of the world. Sure beats what you’re fixing to go through. My opinion only.

I have tried to get below 3 for over 2 years now and suffer every day....it has affected not only my body but my mind. Unable to do anything. Today I took it upon myself to go to 5 mg. of Prednisone instead of 3 . It might not be enough but I will give it a couple of days more before increasing if needed. This isn't living when you can't function on a daily basis.
