Hello tamidi, I have Churg Strauss Vasculitis and I have been off all drugs since 2007, including Prednisone. I was on 100 mg in the hospital and down to 80 mg when I came home after being in the hospital for one month and a half. I tapered of the Prednisone in November 2007 and quit everything else and I am doing well. I had pnuemonia and did a Prednisone burst in 2009, and I have a rescue inhaler for asthma, but no other drugs since

Hi, I have been told I will be on pred for at least 2 years at a maintenance dose if I don't have a flare. If I flare then they will increase and taper back down.
