My tapering isn't going well. Went from 20 mg down to 15 (1 pill). Decided to increase by a 1/4 of a pill which is 1.25 mg. 15 mg to 16.25. So far not kicking in. The fatigue is getting to me. The pain is up between my shoulder blades and into the back of my neck. Legs are so tired. I seem to be very shaky (almost weak). Also, I seem to have more than normal saliva (weird or what). Hanging in there though. Not hearing back for the neurologist at all. Not able to get into the Rheumatology clinic until June or July (and that's on an urgent basis). I'm okay, just frustrated. If I didn't have this group, I would know nothing. Thank you all.

See if you can get an RX for the 1 mg and 2.5 mg prednisone tablets. It's much easier to taper gradually with the smaller dosage pills.
