I'm uncomfortable with your last sentence: "The best way for your cortisol level to rebound is to stop Prednisone." Stopping prednisone can be fatal for some people on this forum if it is not done correctly. It should be done in coordination with a doctor, and only when the adrenals have had a chance to start working again.

Good point ... I added an addendum.

An endocrinologist was monitoring my cortisol level when I stopped Prednisone. She actually double checked with my rheumatologist to make sure PMR was not active. Even an ophthalmologist got involved later on.
