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!

I too was prescribed low dose steroids for PASC. I took methylprednisolone bc of problems I have w Prednisone. It was a short tapering low dose which worked like turning an engine switch to 'on.' She prescribed refills to take as needed, based on criteria we discussed. This week, medical study publications stated low cortisol levels are a basic definitive finding in PASC (long COVID). So, a corticosteroid is the perfect treatment match for that particular problem. Tho, there are more w PASC. There now is the science to back the treatment.
