Has anyone else had pain return after reducing pred by only 2.5 mg?

My rheumatologist and I came up with the strategy of tapering by 1 mg per month when I had repeated painful flares with 2.5. I started at 25 mg so it will take way longer than I had hoped to be prednisone free but this l mg approach seems to be working. Good luck everyone!

Good luck! I'm going to try the 1 mg/month route too, even though it'll take over a year to get the dosage down. There doesn't seem to be another alternative.
