Thank you John. You are a wonderful source of information and good advice. I have been reading other posts re tapering.
The 1 mg every 2 weeks is coming from my rheumatologist. She originally had me taper 2.5 every 2 weeks which did not bring good results. Several posts I’ve looked at they seem to taper once a month and even .5 taper. She’s anxious to get me off prednisone and on leflunomide but I am refusing that option. The side effects are troubling leaving me open to infection and cancer, I’d rather live with the morning pain. I will talk to her at my next appointment re my tapering schedule. She has ideas trying to get me pain free but in the end will give me other options.
I also have a small adenoma on one of my adrenal glands and wonder if that’s doing anything but the soonest I can get an appointment to an endocrinologist is May.
