Good thing to remember is that prednisone masks aches and pains... I remember when I was tapering down at first I had no aches/pains but.... all my old aches/pains I had accumulated in my life started reappearing... I thought to myself..."Hmmm...I forgot about that old issue...dam!" I have now just accepted them and KEEP MOVING!!!... Remember they don't leave race horses in the barn... its run or glue factory eh...
