DSNS Taper
I am on 18 years of
prednisone
:0. I am down to 10mg and need to taper and my doctor just told me to try this DSNS taper but I don’t understand it in the examples. The examples say to take the new dose 1 day, the old dose 6 days, then the new dose 1 day and then the old dose 5 days etc.

Prednisolone.. ventolin with symbicort.

Adventures in decreasing prednisone

Decrease in Steroids
I have been given strict instructions to taper my
prednisone
dose from 5mgs down which I dutifully did. However I really came unstuck and wet back to 5mgs again. I was made aware of a process which involves a very slow reduction which I intend to follow. Wish me luck 🙏

I do have tertiary adrenal insufficiency, ulcerative colitis, osteoarthritis and fibromyalgia and possibly pots. In the last 2 years after having covid twice I developed cushing symptom due to over replacement
