Dear Dr. Megan,
Thank you so much for posting this for me and anyone else who is on long term prednisone! It was not only very educational but is actually uplifting to see and hear your explanation of how it works and why we need to taper. I certainly learned some of this from my rheumatologist but not with your kind of passion and delivery. I am looking forward to seeing you again when you are live to answer questions for us. Thank you again! Btw, how do we know your schedule for live q and a?

I'm sure Dr. Megan would love to read your post but she isn't on this Mayo forum. She doesn't have PMR/GCA. She needed to take Prednisone for a life threatening autoimmune disorder. She says her experience taking Prednisone motivates her to try to help others. She has a Doctorate Degree in Pharmacy so she knows about medications and their side effects.
She has her own website which is very informative. You can find all the information she shares on the following link.

The live Q&A already happened. Here is a video called "The Taper Trap" that was recorded and can be viewed. There is an awkward silence for the first minute.
