Thank u so much. May I ask what u mean by "tough"? That it takes a while for your body to adjust to the lower dose or that u go into flare or that u just accept a new normal of ongoing pain?

I have gone into a flare twice. The flares are tough mentally, because they resulted in increasing the prednisone dosage (e.g. a reduction from 2.0 to 1.5, resulted in having to go back up to 2.5) so I can function. Currently, after 30 days at 2.5 and another 30 days at 2.0, I reduced the dose to 1.5 a few days ago. No pain so far, but really fatigued.
