Confused: Tapering vs cold turkey stopping prednisone

I was hoping to get some help here. I posted the topic “had pmr since Dec. 4. Was really desperate but now I find it has been removed. Don’t have a clue as to why. Would appreciate it if anyone could tell me. My question was should I taper off 20 mg of prednisone or stop cold turkey as my doctor told me to. I’m in a tremendous amount of pain as you all well understand. Thanks for any input
