Hello and welcome to Mayo Clinic Connect, @marilynredder2367. Thank you for sharing your prednisone history and experience with the group.

Can I ask if you were on a guided taper to the point where you are now, at 7mgs?

It was 10 years up and down and so I decided to guide myself I needed a slower taper and I needed Actemra. I am still on Actemra every other week plus the 7 mg. The shots take care of inflammation and the prednisone takes care of the adrenals. I hope that makes sense
