It has taken me 18mths to get to 0.5mg Prednisone per day. I cut my 1mg into quarters and this last few mg has been the slowest reduction. I have had to stay on some doses for up to a month before I felt I could drop another quarter mg. Other times it has been a week or two weeks, I listen to the fatigue, stiffness and pain and how much I can get done in a day. I'm actually flying interstate tomorrow to visit grandkids tomorrow. 12mths ago I was struggling to get in and out of a car and couldn't walk more than 50 yards. Don't give up, try to find what works for you.
