I’ve reduced the prednisone to 3 mg …going down one mg a month …the first week of reduction is not too bad but the second one is very difficult …usually by the third week it’s starting to recover…and then I have ten days of thinking I’m doing well…. But then it’s time to reduce again …I’m in the middle of the second week atm and hoping it follows the same pattern this time…I take Actemra once a week …fingers crossed it does its job!

I'm on my second round of Prednisone and this time instead of coming down 1mg every month I alternate 3mg then 2mg every other day for two weeks then 2mg for four weeks. Next round will be 2 and 1 alternating every other day for two weeks the down to 1. Has been working great so far.
