Guest guest Posted July 1, 2003 Report Share Posted July 1, 2003 Two weeks ago my Doc asked me to cut back on my daily 7.5 mg of Prednisone to 5 mg every other day for a week. Then 2.5 mg every other day for a week. Then none. He also said that I could increase the dosage on my " on " days if needed, so I went to 10 mg and finally after morning stiffness and pain was back I went to 15 mg every other day. The past 2 mornings I woke up at 4:30 AM in severe pain and had to take a Hydrocodone for the pain. My face has gotten puffy in the past week also, which never happened before. I had no side effects from the original dosage. Today I called him and told him I was going back to the original 7.5 mg daily. I feel like I did when I was first diagnosed in April. I have only been on Prednisone since April 20th. Has any one else had this problem? Thanks, and God Bless, Jay Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
