Yes ego is an issue, because we think we should be doing more or doing better. I have decided to re-start the second weaning in a couple of weeks (so it's back up to 15 mg. for awhile).
15 mg. to 12.5 mg. may have been too much at once. So I will try going down by .5 next time. My pills are 5 mg. so cutting them in half was easy. Cutting them in quarters may be tricky. LOL. I think the lesser and slower, the better at this point.
You're right - the body knows best. Thanks so much and take care.

True on the ego and just wanting to be off prednisone. I was so excited when I thought I would be okay at 7.5. Then reality set in. Also, it would be good if you could get 1 mg. prednisone in addition to 5 mgs. That makes tapering much easier.
