I started tapering prednisone 10 one day 5 the next for 4 weeks starting 25/6 and since Thursday all of my symptoms are back well my
pleural
effusion
is definitely back with a vengeance. Could this be down to the reduction?

can pleural effusion alone come back?
The observation is written as maybe
pleural
thickening or minimal
pleural
effusion
. Rest of lung is clear. This radiologist does not know my medical history, it's an independent lab, i sent the report to my oncologist and he asked for my previous xray which I have shared from 2011.

Update
I seen my respiratory consultant today who is convinced the lowering of prednisone by rheumatologist to 10/5 daily ie 10 one day 5 the next has definitely caused my new right sided
pleural
effusion
so he’s now increased prednisone to 30mg and I’m on a very slow taper as well as antibiotics, he now believes
