" NELLIESTAR@... nelliestar1 Date: Thu Nov 9, 2006 2:25 pm ((PST)) Pris, I have been off and on Prednisone (on more than off) since 1990. I am a severe asthmatic, and thats about the only thing that calms it down. I don't have osteoporosis. I had a bone scan done in 2000, and it showed osteopenia (pre-osteoporosis, my understanding). As far as dosage, inpatient, usually 125 mg solumedrol IM every 6 hrs. at home, it would start at 60 mg and taper to 0, eventually. There was a 5 yr period that I was on at least 20mg a day for the full 5 yrs.
