UPDATE: After seven days if very low dose prednisone 5 mg once daily, my muscle and John. Aches are 90 % better. I have more energy. The post extertional fatigue is much better. As stated above, it was prescribed by an immunologist who specializes in post acute Covid syndrome at Mt. Sinai hospital in NYC.

@radapanich Can you provide an update on the low dose prednisone? How long did you end up taking it? Were your improvements sustained after stopping? Thanks.

Do you mind sharing how long your physician plans to keep you on prednisone 5mg? I recently had great results on relatively low doses of steroids with a quick taper, but I’m wondering if a longer course at a stable dosage would be better. Thanks in advance, and I’m glad you found some relief!
