Hi I wrote in March..had gotten down to 2 1/2 mg of pred a day..finally down to 1 1/2 a day now. I tried to take 2 mg evreyother day but after almost a month have to give up and go back on a slightly higher dose. I have lost 20 of the 25 # I gained and am also taking Flax seed oil which I think is helpful. It lacks a month of being 5 years since I woke up with this and I wonder if I can ever get off Pred for good..however, my dose is so tiny now, I am taking in a week what I once took in 1 day...but I will keep trying to get off...just don't want another bad flareup. Just hang in there and keep trying..I am walking about 3 times a week now and have many "normal" days!!!
