Please let us know how that works out. I have been on Prednisone for two years starting with 20mgs. I felt great! I didn't start feeling bad until I got down below 5 mgs. last March. My physician insists I get off of it so now I am down to 2 and a half mgs. and feel rough. Muscles are stiff and the aches and pains in arms, legs, back never go away so I am not a happy camper and was thinking about alternatives when I am totally off of prednisone.
