Hello Dianne,
Weaning below 10mg has been the challenge for me. We started reducing 1mg a month in January so 10mnths ago. I got to 6mg in July pain & stiffness worsened. I tried to tough it out for 2 months as I am dying to get off the Pred but my Dr. says we have to get the inflammation down as my symptoms worsened & CRP is up again...so back up to 7.5. After 1wk I was much better. Gonna try 1/2 mg a month decrease now.
Best,
Mary
