I totally agree with you about missing the “high” during weaning but gradually my natural cortisol is kicking in and I feel so much better. I also had issues with my hand (Dactilytis aka sausage fingers ) and my CRP didn’t increase, so Tylenol, ice, and compression gloves certainly helped. This group has helped me inasmuch as I do not feel so alone 💞🇨🇦💞

Yes, I feel the same about the group. As I had to go to walk-in clinic this afternoon, it turns out that a cut on my leg has developed cellulitis, so now on antibiotics. Also BP up and have developed hypertension. Had to buy a home BP tester. Doctor feels this is directly related to the Prednisone, as I'm not predisposed to high BP or cellulitis in my life. Glad I'm weaning off of it, stiff fingers or not. A little disheartened and concerned at the moment. One day at a time.
