@rachelp The trouble prednisone causes! Don’t I know! I, too, had vision changes which meant new glasses—not cheap. I have been seeing an ophthalmologist because of another vision prob so he watches out for cataracts. As for sweating problems, I had those, also. I get so warm and uncomfortable, but never actually sweat. I barely used a blanket this winter! Night sweats went away after awhile, thank heavens. I’ll be glad when I can taper off!

Just reading that many people are having trouble getting below 3-4 MG of prednisone (you'd think that small of an amount would not make that much of a difference, but it must!) I am down to 4 MG and doing okay, feeling some stiffness but hoping it will go away once my body gets used to the lower 4mg amount, so I can hopefully lower again. I went to the Rheumotogist this week and told him about the change in vision so he booked me into an eye specialist (ophthalmologist) whom I luckily get to see this week. Wishing you Good luck as you too try to taper down from prednisone.
