@pbrumlik I did get in to see an ophthalmologist, and promptly, too. As for getting a rheumatologist with time to provide some in-depth support, that sounds like a pretty high order here in Ontario. Apparently they are a rare bird here. I recently tried to contact him for some guidance in reducing my prednisone dosage, but to be honest, I will be very surprised if I receive any reply.

@lally
Go to your primary care provider and have them taper down your prednisone until you can be seen by a rheumatologist
