@betsyhase I’ve had great success with Kevzara. Pricy, but my Medicare RX covers all but the annual deductible (then I don’t pay for any other RX’s for the year.
Also, sometimes the taper is too fast. My dr recommended no more than 10% taper and stay on dose pain free for at least 2 weeks. The lower the dose the longer to stay on it doing taper.

@tweetypie13 I am on a 1mg taper of prednisone every month. Slow taper is best to allow the body to adjust. I am also on Kevzara. I am att 7mg of prednisone. I just learned around a third of those with an auto-immune disease have more than one!
