Yes, being on prednisone and trying to taper off can be pretty awful. You just have to take it slow and easy and listen to your body while tapering off. I chose to live with a little aches and pain but if it got too bad (above a 2 level for me) then I didn't taper to the next lower dose until I felt better.

That is wonderful to have made it to that low of a dosage. I am so looking forward to getting the Covid-19 vaccine. My doctor wants me to wait until I'm totally off of the prednisone and then get the J&J vaccine, she feels an adenovirus would be better choice, because it is one immune response vs two reactions.
