I have been tapering off prednisolone and am down to 4mg . I’m having mood changes and other symptoms relating to withdrawal . I’m finding this difficult to cope with .
I’d like to hear from others about their experience and what helped ?

I am down to 4mg too. I did get some pains always in right hand and down right side. I used a compression glove for hand and snuggled under a quilt as the warmth seemed to ease the pain. Pains have all stopped now. I have noticed that I feel like my old self again and it does feel strange, In fact quite overwhelming. I went to the gym yesterday morning which left me feeling brilliant but later in day I was very restless, weather was really bad so a run would be a bad idea so went to the gym again. I felt better after that and very happy but did fall asleep on sofa for 2 hours. The other day when I realised my feeling were a bit up and down I told myself to do something I love but had not done for a long time. For me that was a very muddy uneven trail run with my dog, it worked and I felt back in control. It has been 10 months since I felt normal. Have a plan for when you don’t feel right, something that really makes you happy because I bet it all starts again when we are on 3mg.
