Prednisone tapering is challenging. What does remission feel like?

I had almost no stiffness while going slowly down from 20 to 10mg of prednisone. Even more slowly I got to 9, and was OK. Now at 8 I am stiff again the morning but it goes away after an hour. Most folks seem to have some difficulties below 10mg and I guess I am no exception.

If you aren't splitting the dose for 12 hours apart, may want to try that. Or see if your doctor is ok with going up to 8.5mg.
