My rheumy wants me off of prednisone as soon as possible

ļ»æAlendronic Acid and Pred
ļ»æMy friend who's a long term sufferer of pmr (11 years) was down to 2.5mg but after a mishap had to back to 5mg. She had a review with a new young GP who told her that if she went back on Alendronic Acid, this would help her get off pred. Has anyone else been told this? Wouldn't we all be on it
