Hello @kmmi, I would like to add my welcome to Connect along with @jeff97 and others. I agree with Jeff about the tapering too fast. We are all different and while no one wants to be on prednisone there is no one set schedule that will work for everyone. You might find this discussion started by @dadcue helpful

Do you keep a daily journal/log of your level of pain when you first get up along with your dose of prednisone for the day?

Yes I am keeping a journal of the dose and my pain and stiffness levels. I go back to see the doctor at the end of this month. I plan to go over it with him. I was doing so much better at 20 mg OK at 17.5 mg but at 15 mg. I'm in pain all most all day.
