Just be careful. 2 1/2 mg a months is a fast taper.

HI @flymetothemoon, I'm not sure your comment was meant for me. Starting with 40 mg, I tapered down 5 mg of prednisone every two weeks until I got down to 10 mg, then the taper slowed down. I was able to get off prednisone with no flareups a few months ago. I've been lucky. I read what others go through here and it isn't so easy for many. Best to you in 2023.
