My doc has recently started letting me regulate my own taper from 20mg. to 10mg., since getting over my flare, showing that he realizes I'm the one in a position to know how it is going. That's good, and a big change from when I was first sick. I just think it may get trickier to negotiate with him about the dosages under 10mg. and 5mg., when the time comes, since I've learned on here that such small adjustments can do so much. Hopefully he understands all that and will give me some free rein. I'm curious, are people able to get pred in 1mg. tablets? Otherwise, that could be a lot of tiresome and inaccurate pill splitting.
