Adrenal insufficiency and dosage

I searched this site but didn't find this article. For me the top takeaway was "Mean prednisolone dose the last 3 months and basal P-cortisol were the best and simplest predictors of adrenal function." This conclusion seems to support the DSNS protocol(which I am using with success so far--thank you).

Thank you - a good one and duly bookmarked. Not least because it has a good summary about duration of pred for PMR - that'll save me looking for references!!!!!
