Hi, sorry about that. Ooops, I see now it doesn't take Excel files. I've converted it to a csv and attached that.

Ann, thanks. I'm at 4.5 mg a day with no pain. I tried a mix of 4.5 and 4 a few weeks ago, and eventually the pain returned. I think the 4.5 down to 4 was too big a drop. I'll try again using your approach in terms of number of days at each level and the .25 drop in amount of reduction in prednisone. I've been taking prednisone since early February.
