Thank you for taking the time to answer.
It took 2 yrs to go from 80 mg to mg.
My doctors now feel I am going through Prednisone detox which is brutal. I taper 1 mg a month.

Okay, I 100% agree with kmeikle's answer to you. Take a good look at it if you haven't already. When you are at 7mg, you are in the "adrenal zone". It's a touchy time. You need to go slower than you have in the past. Half a mg. at a time is plenty. Some even go a qtr. of a mg at a time. Buy a pill cutter.
