I have started keeping track of my pain. Just seems like the prednisone doesn't hold my pain for a full 24 hours. Thanks for the tips. I will call a pharmacist and check this out and let you know what I find out. I don’t see a Rhuematologist until March at Mayo in la crosse so will have check that out as I need to get that going.

Thank you!

I talked to a pharmacist today and she said it was ok to split the prednisone dose up. Just need to be careful that I don’t take it too late in the day. So I’m going to try my prednisone 10mg with breakfast and the other 5 mg four hours later. If that doesn’t work I will need to contact my Dr to see if I need a prednisone dose increase.

Thanks
