Yay me! My rheumatologist said it was ok to taper off prednisone 2 mg per week at a time. This is going to be the best Christmas present ever... NO MORE PREDNISONE! I should be off of it by the second or third week of December considering I'm now at 9mg per day. 3 more days until I'm down to 7 mg, the a week later down to 5, etc. This is like a New Year's Eve count down but better. My New Year's Resolution is to part with prednisone for the rest of my life. I think I can do it without craving it.... HAHAHAHHAHA
