@kjoed53 I understand it’s the same. Sometimes when stocks are low of prednisolone, they substitute prednisone. I made no difference to tapering. Sometimes when tapering has gone wrong due to too much pressure from the doctors forcing the taper, I’ve had to go to Emergency with pain from a sudden in inflammation. They’ve given me hydrocortisone intravenously. It’s worked quickly and I’d agree that it seemed a more gentle drug. Although I have been told it’s not good for managing pain levels longer term.
