Hi @ctipmarie, my Rheumatologist put me on 40 mg of prednisone for Giant Cell Arteritis to start. After a year and a half, I tapered off it completely (that was a few months ago). While being treated, I saw him every three months and had a monthly CRP test to measure inflammation. If anything unusual happened I contacted him by email, but my taper was pretty smooth. I wish you both the best!
