I have A disease called EGPA which has an eosinophilia component but was also on steroids before starting a biologic called Nucala. For me it has worked well. Three shots each month and my symptoms receded. I was able to slowly back off of prednisone by following suggestions from the Mayo site. Slowly, especially as you get under 10 mg is essential to success. It has been two years of shots and I probably may always need them, but worth it to get back to living.
Good luck with your treatment and stay connected to Mayo for the help of good people who have been in your place and are doing well.

@mth13 Thank you so much. I have gone down slowly from60 mg for about three months tapered now to12.5 mg. I can’t wait to get off them, but I feel very, very blessed to be feeling better able to do some work in my house and go to town and not be exhausted. I’m glad to hear you’re doing so well hopefully I’ll have the same response.
