I have SFN resulting from the first dose of Pfizer. It’s been 9 months and now is getting worse. My Doctor suggested I take 25mg prednisone for 14 days to see if it will calm it down. He’s not convinced it will work but said you never know. I’m concerned I may have withdraw side effects from stopping all at once. I don’t recall seeing any posts of anyone being prescribed steroids. Has anyone been given this dose of prednisone without a taper and did you do ok just stopping it? Or has anyone been given a different dose of prednisone or other types of steroids and was it helpful with your symptoms and if so did it last? From what I’ve read prednisone is great but has more side effects then others steroids and some people can have a hard time stopping with no taper after just one week?

best not to stop abruptly-tapping off is preferable. Mum was on it and advised not to stop suddenly.
