Prednisone reduction
Started reducing my
prednisone
f r om 30 mg a day by 2.5 every two weeks and mow at 22.5. I follow this site continuously and get the impression this is on the fast side. Talked to Rheumatologist about slowing down a b d staying at 22.5 longer. He insists I should continue and start 20 mg now.

update on my wrist pain.
I'm now at 2mg.
prednisone
. (up from .75....ah, I was so hopeful a year ago) and over the last 3 months have been waking up with terrible pain in hand and thumb and wrist. Primary doc sent me for an EMG which showed moderately severe (whatever that means) carpal tunnel.

Azathioprine dose
Obviously when this all started I stopped taking the Azathioprine (so my immune system could fight) and doubled my
prednisone
dose from 10mg daily to 20mg. This is supposed to be a short term solution but has been going on for sometime now.

Drugs make it worse?
The main problem is probably
prednisone
which I take for lupus, and which is pretty much like taking cortisol. I'm not sure what to do about it because I have auto-immune hemolytic anemia, which also makes me tired. I realize this is the wrong forum to ask about
prednisone
.

Humidity and PMR
I have upped my
prednisone
from 4 mg which it has been for months to eventually 10 mg. It is not holding it. I also have chromic back pain, but it is not a rheumatic pain and MS, so sorting things out is difficult. Has anyone had problems with prolonged humidity. We are in Canada.

Polymyalgia and Rheumatoid arthritis
Over a period of about 7 years I managed to come off
prednisone
but after a time the PMR returned. Since 2022 I have managed to get down to 7mg daily and then have a flare. Back to 10 down to 8 and another flare.

Acid reflux
I read that
prednisone
can cause this, causes the esophagus to not contract enough. I tried Pepcid but it's not helping.

How early should I take pred in the morning?
Should I take my
prednisone
earlier? To clarify, I'm down to 7.5 mg (8 and 7 on alternating days) and I want to wake up my adrenals as best as I can. Will it help this process if I take the pred at 5 am instead of waiting until 7 am?

does poor adrenal function until they work again increase CRP results?
As in your dropping the
prednisone
under 10 and down lower and lower? I just dropped today from 7.5 to 5, and don't yet feel any different.
