You didn’t ask for any advice, but I’ll offer it anyway, maybe someone will find this useful. When tapering from steroids, it’s best to follow the schedule prescribed by your doctor. I was once on prednisone for some alergic reaction, and I was really looking forward to put the episode behind me. So I tapered much more agressively than what my doctor advised. Big mistake. I ended up in the ER in an excruciating pain. I then resumed the original tapering profile, and I got off the prednisone in 4 month. Slow and steady was the key. No more incidents.
