How long to get results of upping prednisone

[Uglow]

Hi thank you all for your valuable help. Any idea how long it takes for upping prednisone dose from 12.5 to 15mg to see if it’s helping.

Thanks in advance.

Sometime a couple of days, sometimes a bit longer - depends how much built up inflammation there is to mop up!But you do need to stay for a least a week to make sure.

Depends - sometimes it works quickly, especially if that was your starting dose and you responded quickly then, but if you flared at 12,5mg you might need slightly more for a few days to clear out any accumulated inflammation.
