I agree that most doctors are "flexible" when the pain gets hard to tolerate. My rheumatologist only had an issue when I took more prednisone without telling her. I have to confess that I was very guilty of not telling her when I increased my dose. It was hard for me to tell someone every day about how much pain I had. I knew that I should not increase my dose without a reason. Unfortunately my reason was always because of too much pain.
