I am not on prednisone due to a severe reaction immediately after my transplant. But I have been treated for thyroid issues by an acupuncturist. My understanding is that acupuncture can also be helpful in regulating one’s adrenal glands and balancing of cortisol production.
This could be useful as you reduce your dosage, as well, because it is also helpful for drug withdrawal symptoms, relaxation, etc.

Your acupuncture story is very interesting, as I was at the Mayo 2 weeks ago and they told me my thyroid numbers were far above normal. They did a thyroid scan and found nothing. So next week I'm scheduled locally for a thyroid uptake test. Did you go through the same process? and are you able to measure the results of the treatment as I would not know, since I feel fine and would need a second uptake test to measure.
