I'm down to 4 mg Prednisone from 15 mg starting in January. I am determined to be done with this medication I really don't feel well. I do not have the terrible pain and stiffness which I initially had but I'm very fatigued and achy. I don't know how to decipher whether I'm experiencing lower Prednisone or feeling PMR or adrenal deficiency. Very hard to sort out for me. I do plan to stay on 3 mg for remainder of the month

I totally understand your feelings.
My feeling and experience is that, better to be in less discomfort so the body can relax and recover a bit, not to mention your psyche.
With that said, consider taking OTC med “like Tylenol for Arthritis “ to help while tapering. Is it worse in the morning or late afternoon? I was/am able to take 2 “as needed”. APPROVED by my Dr.
CHECK WITH YOUR DR first. Good luck
