Subject: Being Tapered off Steroids/ prednisolone
I am coming off steroids.. whoop! I have been given the green light by my Rheumy Nurse. She said to just take my 2.5 mg every other day, rather than every day - and if I can manage that for a month I can come off them competely! I am still on MTX 15 mg a week... but I will be glad to come of Pred as it has damaged my bones. I had a dexa scan recently, and it indicated that I would suffer with Osteoporosis if I carried on with the steroids. So... what should I expect coming off pred? Tell me the good news!
