I agree with you regarding how to taper off prednisone. I had a mild case (only hurt in bed), so it was hard to diagnose. I started at 10 mg. and tried tapering off by 1 mg. every 2 weeks. I found that a .5 mg. taper was more effective and I think sometimes there were 3 to 4 weeks between tapers. I think it was about a year before I was off of it. It did flare when I got COVID, but I only needed 2 mg. and was soon off of it again.
