@caroljeand I am not sure the blood test will tell you much. I have seen where 2 or 3 mg is the desired level to try and test. The length of time you have been on steroids can also make a difference. I would say be prepared that the results might not be a true indication.

Thank you..Because I am on”down to 5 mg and our own bodies normally produce an average of 5 mg he felt it would indicate if I have some of my own cortisol production. We’ll see.

@tuckerp
In response to the length of time that I’ve been on prednisone, it’s been 3 and a half months.
