Hi, Mimi, I’ve also been well controlled on a low dose of prednisone. I managed my pain for almost nine months on NSAIDs, but finally started on 5 mg of prednisone when the long term NSAIDs were causing their own problems. Weaned down to 2 mg, but bumped back up to 5mg when I started getting vague, minor headaches out of an abundance of caution. That dose cleared up the headaches and I’m weaning down again. I’ve found I’m very sensitive to most meds, so having the low dose prednisone be very effective is not a surprise.
