Welcome @cantek, Tapering off of prednisone can be difficult. I've done it twice for another condition, PMR which is now in remission. What helped me was going very slowly and small increments. My rheumatologist gave me scripts for 2.5 mg and 1 mg tablets which helped me reduce the daily amounts as my symptoms allowed. The key was listening to my body. If I hurt too bad, I didn't taper or reduced it by a smaller amount.

Did your doctor give you any tapering instructions or schedule suggestions?
