Hi, I went this morning and seen my GP, I couldn't take the headache and neck pain, and fatigue and nausea ant my more. I was getting very concerned. She ended up giving my prednisone again starting at were I left off which was st 10 mg and said to wean down by 1 mg every 5 days. As soon as I took it felt a lot better not 100% but better. I was really surprised that my Rheumy said yep it's fine to stop at 10mg, cause it clearly was not. Anyways just wanted to let you guys know. And thank you so much for being there. 😊

Seen my GP today.
I am glad to hear that sanity prevailed! Hopefully you will get the result you need.
Glad to hear that she saw sense. But I'm still very dubious about the rate of reduction she has set for you.
Glad to hear sense has prevailed, but like Annodomini think that reducing 1mg every five days is still asking too much.
I think it would be more sensible to stay at 10mg for a few weeks to make sure you feel okay again, but you'll have to see how you go. If you can, and I know it's not easy, try not to be pressurised into reducing when you don't feel it's right.
I think so too, I am going to call to see my Rheumy again and say what happen when I was off the prednisone. It was awful, as soon as I went to GP and got a refill and took 10 mg almost within 2 hours I felt a little bit better and then the next day better again.
I agree with the others - but I think it is still too fast. Hope she finds putting you through all this was worth it.
