I’ve been on and off prednisone for about six years with higher doses for the past two. Blasts and tapers from 60 down to 10. In Jan to March this year I did a slow taper off after starting rituximab in Dec. I have severe interstitial lung disease related to my Sjogrens and RA. Unfortunately I’m a couple weeks into a flare and am starting on pred again to calm down the inflammation. We’re starting w low slow taper and I hope it work.
My suggestion to you based on my experience is to see if you are able to taper down to a lower dose as it may help a lot with side effects. And watch your bones as the pred can push one into osteopenia and osteoporosis category within a short few years. My rheumatologist is very helpful with managing all this so I hope you also have that support.

Best to you as you journey on with your autoimmune disease!
