I know I am new here but I would have balked at 80 mg. of Prednisone.
I had pretty sever symptoms and started on 12mg, which wasn't quite enough so we bumped it up to 15mg. I split it to 10mg in the AM and 5mg after dinner. I made those changes because I crashed taking it once a day. A couple of people in this group suggested it and it worked for me.
Good luck ✨️

@betsyhase
I took 1000 mg of methyl-prednisolone a day for 3 days to save my vision from GCA, followed by 6 weeks of 60 mg a day. I would take 80 a day if I needed to to save my vision or prevent a stroke.
