Hey all!

I have been having a really difficult time at 9mg of prednisone. I was GREAT at 10mg! So many of the side effects went away, my energy went up, I even lost 5 lbs because I could finally be off the couch. However, this past month at 9 mg has been really difficult. I am having issues with my menstrual cycle - which has been a common thing with my reaction to prednisone. I am exhausted ALL the time. I tend to get really emotional - crying when I am really not sure why even. It's crazy!

I am supposed to drop to 8mg on Tuesday and am very anxious about it. My blood work is still really good so my doctor has been encouraging about sticking it out through withdrawals and seeing what I can manage.

Any advice?
