Prednisone tapering

I greatly appreciate all the different reports on tapering the prednisone! When I was first dxed with myasthenia gravis I heard it was sometimes called the “ snowflake disease “ because every person presented with a different constellation of symptoms. I’m beginning to think many of the autoimmune diseases are somewhat similar.
I’m learned something from each post. Of course it seems like “it’s always something “ as my dental problem from the prednisone is getting complicated because of course the dentist referred me to oral surgeon and then I have to go for a consultation first and etc etc and etc . It will probably take 2 weeks to get this tooth out. Meanwhile my mouth and throat are sore and I'm concerned about infection. It’s technically not a big deal but quite irritating… I’m know I'm not the only one having to go to the doctor , blood draw, infusion, scans, every
darn week but it’s tiring!!! It’s one of the reasons I couldn’t move back to our old house in the country where I had dreamed about living out my life . There’s no decent healthcare there anymore!!!! Moving to the city to be near grandchildren 13 years ago was probably my last move due to needing to be near better medical facilities . Anyway I’m grateful for all the help!

@newtogmg75f I just read your post and I wanted to tell you that there is something that will help your sore and mouth. It’s called ‘miracle mouthwash.’ Ask your dentist or oral surgeon for a prescription. They should also know of a compounding pharmacy where it can be made up. Or the two dentists might know of something they already use. Just ask!
