Had a relapse after three years off meds.
Been on 10mg prednisone for a little over a week. No pain.
Now starting my taper plan -
7.5 mg for 1 week. then
5 mg for 3 weeks then
2.5 mg for 3 weeks.
Will see how it goes. If pain comes back will start over then taper much more slowly.

@kerrwp,

I combined your discussion on tapering off prednisone to your previous discussion titled:

"Prednisone vs No Prednisone"
- https://connect.mayoclinic.org/discussion/prednisone-vs-no-prednisone/

Here, members can see your update and offer their experiences with tapering off prednisone and life on it vs. off of it.
