@dustymi11er oh, I’m so sorry that you’re in the hospital. This AD can be a real puzzle to work with—I still feel that way. One day you’re fine, or think you are, and the next day, you’re back to square one. And then, you’re supposed to taper the prednisone! Aaagghhh. A prednisone taper needs to be slow and steady. Your body needs time to adjust to each reduction in dose. I learned that the hard way, like you. I’m now reducing by 1 mg a week. It’s much easier.
Yes, talk to your consultant. They aren’t the ones taking the steroids, you are! Be your own advocate!
Be sure to let me know how things go.
