Thanks for your answer. She has me on a tapered schedule. I was doing pretty well at 12.5; the pain is much worse at 10mg so I'll see if the 12.5 is enough to settle the pain down again. She did say to increase if needed. Some of the side effects of the prednisone have lessened so the insomnia and insatiable appetite are not so bad, the jittery feeling is also better so I was hoping the lower dose would be enough. We'll see.
