Hi Paula, It's helpful to hear how your doctor has you taper the Prednisone. It seems that most people have to taper very slowly with this medicine. I last tapered from 7.5 mg to 5 mg, and I hung in there for 8 weeks, but I finally had to call my doctor and return to the higher dose. I was way too fatigued and sore! It just kept getting worse! I am feeling much better on the 7.5 mg, but I sure would like to be able to reduce the Predniosne! I've been on Prednisone for 14 months now. I am concerned about side effects. Do you take any other medicine for pain to help with your taper? Do you have fatigue? Thanks for your help. Best wishes! Sharry
