                        Hi Ida,    It's so good to hear from you!  It's wonderful that you have gotten your Prednisone down to 6mg.  Way to go!    I have found that I ache more and am more tired for a couple of weeks after each taper, but then things level off.  How long do you give a taper before going down again?  It seems that the slower I go, the better.  I hate a failed taper, because it forces me to go back up to an even higher dose for a while, and then I have to start the tapering process all over again.      I hope you feel better each day, Ida.    I am looking forward to your next post.    Take good care.    Shar
