Thank you. Rheum. dr. says he should try to completely go off since he's only taking 1/2 every other day and "so close". My husband seems to think if he goes back up and takes 1/2 mg Every day, it will boost his energy?? It's all about fatique at this point. (not mentioned, but he's 80 and preaches 3 x's on Sun. and Wed. at church- Pastor) One more thing.... I see it mentioned in your response and others, regarding Adrenal insufficiency. Has anyone taken supplements for adrenal gland to help?

I’m 79 yrs old…..off prednisone almost 3 months and I’m still on Kevzara. Stamina is hard to come by….I work at it everyday, for a few to several times a day. I.e., walk 2+ miles, swim, pool walk, lt exercise, heavy housework, etc.
Sorry to be the bearer of the news……it does get better but takes time. The hotter the temps the harder for me too.
There are days of significant break thru to keep me going.
