I was off pred for almost six months last year, then had a minor flare. Went back up to 60 mg for a couple of months, then started taper again. Got down to 3 mg about a month ago, then saw an upward trend in creatinine beyond normal. Went back to 5 mg and creatinine is back to normal. Feeling good also. Looks like I'll be on a maintenance dose of 4-5 mg for foreseeable future. I also take 17.5 mg/wk of mtx and bactrim 3x/wk.
