It hit me a year ago July. (2022) 10 mg Prednisone was like magic! But as I tried to taper, once all the way down to 2.5, I would sometimes get flares due to physical or emotional stress and have to go back up. I was at 10 again this past October when GCA hit! 😭 So then had to go up to 60; now on 40. When tapering, you need to slow down the rate at which you taper when you get to about seven or 8 mg. And then once you go down to five and under, you need to do a “dead slow taper” for the best chance of not causing a flare. (Also to let your adrenals wake up.)
