Hey guys! I thought maybe you'd be able to advise me here. I've been on pred for ten years, with the dosage very high at first and have been tapering down ever since. I've been on 5mg every other day for a very long time, and I'd like to get to a point where I'm off of it.

Is that possible? My doctors seem hesitant to ever let me go off of it completely. I'm not sure if that's because of the fact that I've had a kidney transplant, or just the Wegs. Pred has some really terrible side effects though, it's given me cataracts, and the weight gain and all of that, so I'd like to know your opinion on this! I apologize if there's already a thread like this, I wasn't sure.
