Reducing predisone side effects

@kjoed53 It was ok....my CRP went down some more; the sed rate went up a bit... but both markers are in the normal range. And I got approved for Kevzara,but I'm not sure I wanna get on that. I asked if I could do Kevzara for only a few months to help me step off prednisone quicker .She said that is a do-able plan,so I'm considering that. Pick your poison! It'll be great to get those adrenals active again though,at some point.

@mp71
My rheumatologist sent the prescription today for kevzara. I'm down to 7.5mg prednisone and the pain has gone from mild to moderate, but my hip pain is affecting my sleep again since I am a side sleeper. I'll be down to 6.5 or 6mg by the time I get my first delivery of kevzara if what the pharmacy told me holds true. If you go on kevzara have you discussed spreading out your shots to taper off that instead of just quitting?
