Im sorry, this is a repeat intro from a few days ago. I have been tapering 1/4mg every 3-4 weeks from 8mg. I'm having difficulty adjusting to the 3 1/2 mg that I have been currently on for the past 22 days. Shoulder pain, neck pain, fatigue etc. I am ready to increase my dose to 8mg and hopefully start to feel better. I guess it takes awhile for me learn that I just cant rush this. I have been on Prednisone since 2018 and have rushed the tapering to zero, only to realize-It didn't help, and here I am again. PMR Pro already warned me about yo yoing.
For the very first time, I developed temple pain and headache. It started yesterday and it has me worried. I have been taking 1000mg of Tylenol every 6 hours and that seems to take the edge off a bit. Any suggestions from the forum would be greatly appreciated. I plan to call my Rheumy on Monday, but he is the one that was pushing me to get to 3mg, by this past October. Is there anything I can do now that would help relieve the headaches? Thank you
