Prednisanalone ,that is dropped from 10 to 6 (crazy doctors) I have never felt as lethargic for years.

Well now I know. πŸ™„πŸ˜¬

I'm going back to ten for the week. 😀

All the best folks. πŸ€

Wow, from 10mg to 6mg that took me about 18 months to do that!

I am sure others will give some advice on this one.

If you've been on pred for a few weeks or more you shouldn't reduce more than 10% at a time, no wonder you're wiped out!

Hi Ronzy, don't listen to them when they start to tell you silly things like that. Stick your fingers in your ears and sing off key, soon shuts them up. πŸ˜‚

I had to try my Dr's foolish suggestion too, less dire and results less dire, but I felt pretty rotten for a few days. You'd think we'd be more careful, after all we do know better. ;)
