No, not usual for me, as long as I don't reduce pred till infection/lungs cleared. Sometimes takes a day or two longer than GP predicts though. Don't reduce, I would say, till lungs clear. Perhaps need to check with GP.
Check with GP. I have been on pred for 6 months now, and have only just started reducing. I was given the standard prescription to start 6 for x days then reduce when my problems started - it did not work. You just need to talk to GP.
