Just looking for help and suggestions on prednisone withdrawals,

It is strongly recommended in the USA too. We all should be buying those medical alert bracelets which say we are on Prednisone. The following is an example of one that is used in Australia.

Anyone can buy a bracelet on Amazon. My rheumatologist gave me a brochure with information about how I could order one but I never did.

@dadcue you can buy them here in Australia but not single doctor I have seen has mentioned it. That includes three specialists, a couple of GPs and numerous doctors and paramedics during hospital emergency visits related to PMR. Unfortunately, it isn't part of the Australian PMR protocol but it certainly should be.
