Man!....I spent a couple hours reading about prednisone and it's kind of scary!
I plan to take 30mg/day for 5 days and then start to taper.....reduce by 10mg/day for 3 days.....i.e. 20mg for 3 days....10mg for 3 days...and then probably 5mg for 3 days.
Is there much risk associated with this plan????
I found one article indicating that in certain cases a hip replacement is required after only short term use.....!!
Thanks
P.S. Hope I am not posting too much...:-). Let me know if so.
