Yes, I was very impressed with how much and how quickly Prednisone helped me. Now you will begin the journey many of us are on -- where we try a small amount at a time to lower the dose. You may not be ready for that right away but it's something we all seem to go through. I went from 20 mg to 15 mg to10 mg to 7.5 mg over a period of many months. I am now stuck at 7 mg and would really like to go lower but have too much pain if I do. It's always a question of how much pain is okay with a lower dose and how much pain is too much. I will be trying 6 or 6.5 again soon. I don't mind some pain when I go to a lower dose but sometimes it's too much. Hope it works out for you.
