I was diagnosed summer 2019. Fairly typical: started at 15 mgs. Okay dropping to 12.5 and then 10. Had a flare at 7.5 and now I'm trying to reduce to 9.5 from 10. Taking it slow and easy. I still have stiffness and some pain, and I now understand the objective is to get to the lowest point with prednisone where we have minimal discomfort. Sometimes hard to know what that is. I felt great at 15, and pretty good at 12.5. 10 is okay too, but I guess it's worth some pain to get lower?? I assumed around a two year duration when I was first diagnosed, but I now know that probably isn't the case.I'm thankful to be able to connect with others who have first-hand experience.
