Suggestions -how to tapper preds from 10mg

It will level out. I dont remember much of what you are talking about so i say give it a good 6-8 years and it will be a distant foggy memory.

what could have happend to me for stopping i mean tapering prednisone the way I did?

If you stop too suddenly you can go into shock and suffer heart failure.

good to know...7-8 years ago when I did stop i was sick of it-and young and supid. wont do it again.

Once I got to 20mg...I went down 1mg until I got to 5mg...then went to 2.5mg. I am back up to 5mg as I have been having some frequent joint pains. I did increase my Cellcept exactly one month ago but my understanding it takes time for Cellcept to start working so it can KICK the F&CK#%$ weg DOG BACK TO SLEEP.

They are tapering me finally, I am on 11 and will go to 10mg on Monday. Wish me luck. I had one great day last week where I was able to walk around the unit, help with hanging drips, etc. without my scooter. Now I've been feeling yuck for the next 3 days. I have a sleep study tonight.

I hope the sleep study goes well for you Lightwarrior and that you can continue to taper on the pred.

Lightwarrior, you come a long way. Keep pushing forward.

That's great to hear, LightWarrior. I've been wondering how you were doing.
