@ldingwall88 Being on several forums for three years, I'd say your case is rare. A starting dose of 60 mgs. is way above normal (generally 15-25). Are you getting pretty much complete relief at 40 mgs. Hopefully someone will come along who has experienced something similar. If not, you're blazing a trail. So sorry.

I'm getting about 90% relief at the moment, so long as I time the dosages correctly. At first I was told to take it early in the day, but it wore off. Now I take 3 pills between 8am-2pm and the last around 7pm which gets me through the night. I know everyone is different, but all the horror stories about prednisone make me anxious--especially if it's going to be a slow process for me to get below even 20mg, as my neurologist suspects will be the case. I hope to hear from someone in a similar situation. Thanks for your insights.
