Dear @oldhen are you being treated by a rheumatologist? When I started the taper, my doctor told me to go back up to the higher dosage if my symptoms returned. Tylenol is safe with prednisone and NSAIDs are to be avoided. But prednisone calms down the immune system.

Darn. Do you know why NSAIDs are to be avoided? I haven't heard that. I find I need Ibuprofen from time to time and it helps a lot. I don't think Tylenol works as well as it doesn't reduce inflammation.

I do see a rheumatologist ( only one available in a hundred miles) He's not very specific about things. In and out. Guess Ill call his office, the pain is so bad...Am I ever gonna get off this stuff 😳
Thank you so much for your helpful answers Teri. Im glad to know about the tylenol.
Take care and I appreciate your time and good answers. This is all hard when I suffer with depression and it's winter up here.
