Anyone switched to hydrocortisone from prednisone for tapering?

Posted by ventmann @ventmann, May 27 10:40am

C-reactive protein has been good for 10 months. Pain has been from prednisone tapering. Went to an Endocrinologist, after blood tests, prescribed hydrocortisone to replace prednisone for tapering. Anyone had experience with this approach?
Thanks in advance

I have been on HCQ for 2 years after prednisone. Started at 400mg a day and now at 200mg. No adverse effect's or reoccurring symptoms of PMR.

I can say my common cold and flu symptoms were reduced.
