Sherrie, I don't think there is an average dose of prednisone. We are all different. Some are totally off prenisone and don't need it at all. Others only take it for flares and go off when the flare is over and then some of us have been on it continually.

I started at 80 mg ( my highest dose) and my lowest dose in 4 years was 7mg. I am currently on 17mg and trying to taper off.

It is best to be off of it and that is where the other medications ( methotrexate, Imuran, Plaquenil, Cytoxin, Remicade, etc) come in. They are used to get us off the prednisone. Once off the prednisone, some doctors try to lower the other meds until we might be totally in remission.

Hope I haven't confused you. LOL I have problems expaining.

hugs
