Any Tips For Tapering Off Prednisone?

With my normal inflammatory markers and lack of other definitive symptoms, my rheumatologist is not convinced about GCA, though that remains a concern. For now, still off prednisone and hoping for the best.

@leetaanderson I have normal sed rate and CRP and yet definitely have PMR. The GCA I have the symptoms yet my doctor remains unconvinced. I am confused because I had intense scalp tenderness for months … I am being treated in high dose but this non commitment to diagnosis is driving me crazy. Your experience with questionable diagnosis or anything else is appreciated. Thanks.
