Same as myself, started at 30mg October of 2023, I'll will stay on 2 1/4mg for 6 weeks then drop to 2mg for 6 weeks. If everything stays the same, I will drop 1/4mg every 6 weeks. Weaning myself just a little slower than yourself. I only want to go through this once I hope. Best of luck to you

I have remained on 5mg Prednisone for over 4 months as when I reduced to 2.5 the symptoms increased so back to 5’s again. I’m hesitant to reduce further however my real issues is the skin with it being so fragile the skin lifts off and wounds don’t heal quickly. Any comments would be grateful.
