Yes! That drop from 8 to 7mg of prednisone. I got cocky thinking I was going to be off this stuff by Christmas. Yikes what a flare up at 7mg. Everything hurts and the fatigue. Getting out of bed in the am is a slog. After a week of this I went back up to 8mg. Next drop will be to 7.5. I may start going 1/2 for the drops now.

Yes, I'm doing .5mg reductions every 3 weeks and have no pain at 7.5mg. I reckon a 1mg drop might tip me over. The fatigue is increasing so it can happen without a relapse.
