Guest guest Posted April 9, 2011 Report Share Posted April 9, 2011 I am down to one pill of pred a day. I have started taking 1/2 in the AM and 1/2 at dinner with the goal of dropping the afternoon dose next week. I have definitely had a return of aches in my legs/knees. The pain is not so bad that I can't get through it, but I wonder if the pain means I am having damage. My initial x-rays were all good. Does the body adjust to the decrease in pred and the symptoms resolve? My last blood test showed " mild inflammation " with a SED of 35. I am on MTX and folic acid. I was just diagnosed in Feb and have been on MTX for 2 months. I want to get off the pred, and I am determined to do so, but the return of symptoms has me worried. Anyone who has been through this have any advice or insight? Janice in Ga Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
