from Mimosa:
I have been taking prednisone for seven years only 10 mg a day, Well maybe that wasn't enough, because my C-reactive proteen was always elevated. I told the doctor I was going to decease the dose, One mg a month , she agreed. I was fine untill I reached 6 mg. then the pain was constant. She prescribed: 5 mg prenisone daily and 15 mg of methotrexate once a week .It is helpful for mow. Coping with 95 degree temperature plus the S.Florida humidity is enough to sicken anyone.

Mimosa, what type pain do you have? It sounds like you’ll be tapering for a LONG time! I tapered off may 25th and my pain is unbearable. Wonder how long this will last? I’m hoping to rebuild my adrenal gland back up but doesn’t look promising.
