Hydroxycholoquine (H) has helped me reduce prednisone (P) from 10 mg to 5 mg and soon to 4 mg. I was on 200 mg of H twice a day now due to sleep problems of H I am at 200 mg once a day.

I have the same experience. I started H in March 2023 after taking Prednisone for 3 1/2 years and numerous attempts at tapering. I have gone from 15 - 3 mg in that time and I am virtually pain free.
I also eat a Mediterranean diet and weigh the same as I did in my early 20's (I'm 72 now).
