Hello. I am still tapering. I had to go back to 2.5 mg daily for an extended period. I tried breaking that in half but started coughing too much and needed to use my resume inhaler again so I went back to 2.5. This morning I took 1.25 mg so we’ll see how it goes this time. My endocrinologist has deferred my prednisone usage to my Pulmonologist. He said he wants me to try a biologic and if that doesn’t work I might have to stay on 2.5 mg daily for my asthma.
As far as withdrawal/adrenal insufficiency symptoms, I’ve done pretty good at the 2.5mg. I’m hoping to be able to get completely off of the prednisone and only use it when absolutely necessary for my asthma. I still have no solution to my chronic sinusitis but the pulmonologist thinks the biologic might help that also.
