Hi Betty, It does sound like you might have to go back up to 7.5 mg for a while, like I had to do. I've been told that this is still considered a fairly low dose of Prednisone, which is what I am currently on. Over a month ago, my doctor had me try 5 mg for a about 3 weeks, but my symptoms came back. I wonder if we'll be able to try lowering the dose again, soon. I really would like to get back down to 5 mg, because it makes a difference in how I look and feel. My face wasn't puffy at the 5 mg dose, and I was able to drop some weight during that 3 weeks Oh well, I guess we will have to resign ourselves to the fact that we feel much better at 7.5 mg for now, and in time, we may be able to reduce the Prednisone with success. Maybe, tapering more slowly, as some have suggested, would work out better. Let me know how you are doing. I hope you are feeling much better soon!
