I was diagnosed in April of 2021. I started at 25 MG of prednisone for about 5 months. Then I started to taper down. It took a while, and a few times I had to go back up to a previous dose, but I am now prednisone free as of 6 days ago. I am so glad it is finally gone. It stayed with me about 14 and a half months. Good luck to you!!
