Hello everyone,
Thanks for the information on enbrel (quite some time ago). My girlfriend has been doing very well on it, and even surprised my by biking about 250 miles in the last weeks of the summer. Since biking season is almost done, (at least in northern ohio), she was looking at decreasing her prednisone, now at 10mg/day. Any suggestions? Would it be wise to have a pattern such as 10/9/10/9/10/9/9/10/8...or something like that. Were both new to this idea, so any advice would be greatly appreciated!!!!Thank you!!!

Decreasing it is probably a good idea, but go slow as you are suggesting.  Maybechecking with her Dr would be a good idea.  She sounds very active, it would be unfortunate if she fell victim to the bad long-term effects of predisone! God bless!

I'm still feeling tired since the loss of prednisone. ??? what can I do?
