@dadcue this is just crazy. It's like the "cure" is actually worse for us than the disease! I wish you well, and thank you for the reply

Prednisone is a crazy drug. It actually makes people crazy when all the mood changes and psychiatric side effects are considered. These effects are often referred to as corticosteroid-induced psychiatric disturbances. I had some of those side effects too.

If people don't have psychiatric disturbances trying to figure out how to taper off Prednisone will drive you crazy. Actemra really has helped me simply because I no longer need to worry about how much Prednisone I need to take every day.
