Tapering off Prednisone
Had a relapse after three years off meds.
Been on 10mg prednisone for a little over a week. No pain.
Now starting my taper plan -
7.5 mg for 1 week. then
5 mg for 3 weeks then
2.5 mg for 3 weeks.
Will see how it goes. If pain comes back will start over then taper much more slowly.
