Shifting from Prednisone to Hydroxychloroquine

I have been on Prednisone and hydroxychloroquine for 3 years now. Finally down to 1-1/4 mgs Prednisone. I still have pain in my right shoulder when trying to get out of bed in the morning, but it goes away within a few minutes after stretching. So many ups and downs with this disease but I'm finding that I'm having more ups than downs now and am determined to get off Prednisone within the next few months. Wishing everyone good luck on this journey.

Woo woo! And to you. My goal, as well, is to get down the pred level. I’m using methotrexate. Down to 12.5mg of pred from 40mg. Better, and even good, days give me hope. More ups, as you say, than downs.
