I am at 4.5 mgm prednisone . Diagnoses in 2015. While tapering to 4.25 felt I had not enough energy to do normal things. Decided I need to up it a little but how much and for how long. I do not have PMR pains at all just general blahs and some morning g stiffness. Recent stress with husbands surgery I did: one day added 2mg, next day 1 mgm, and last day 1/2 mgm not cumulative. I was able to do a lot more.
Put another way how long to stay at the more comfortable higher dose.? Day, weeks or months. I keep hearing “a few”.
