Hi Ida, How are you? It sounds like you have found the best method for tapering your Prednisone. I am convinced that my body can't handle big reductions in Prednisone, either. Last week, I tapered by 1.25mg, and it seems to have worked. I had minor increases in fatigue, stiffness, and pain, but those cleared up by the end of the week. I am working on another taper, and I am feeling more fatigued along with pain and minor swelling again. This isn't much fun. I really want to get my Prednisone down to a safer level. I have been on it for too long, and I am concerned about long term side effects. Take good care and let me know how you are doing. Shar
