I certainly would not go cold, turkey being on 20 mg. I have repeatedly heard that’s what you’re not supposed to do you’re supposed to taper off.

With that said, I see a lot of conversations about pain and let me share that my husband he was just diagnosed In Oct. was on a scale of one to 10 at at eight. The prednisone took him down to a five.

We added in supplements to take down inflammation, and has brought the pain level down to a three.

You really need to discuss this with your doctor or certainly get a naturalist who can make good recommendations as to take him down inflammation.

My husband now takes

Omega-3 twice a day
Vitamin D3 with K2-with food
Magnesium is huge for pain, relief!
Calcium citrate-with food
B complex (Jarrow B-Right) with food.

Good luck to all! It’s important to understand vitamins whether they are water, soluble, or fat soluble in what that means.🙏🏻 It’s very important to understand.

He didn’t get on the supplements until just a couple weeks ago and already has seen a better improvement. I expect after two months it should be even better.

I have some of supplements your husband is on. I am seeing an acupuncturist, however my primary doctor who wants to stop me cold turkey after ten days on 20 says I shouldn’t takebthem because I am on blood thinner . Don’t know what I will do about stopping prednisone….can’t get into new doctor for a few weeks.Thank you for info…..I also want to try that low dose LDN drug. Inthink my primary doctor knows so little about heart and prednisone. Gotta get outta there
