Now you can understand more how it was impossible for me to drop
from 6mg to 5mg. I'm pretty much alright now I guess. I think I
feel better with this lower dose too (5.75 mg). How did you go with
out yours for so long?



Here's how I'm taking the prednisolone now.

The pills are 4 mg each
midnight 2.75 mg (half a pill 2mg-plus 1/8 .5mg -plus 1/16 .25 mg)
8am 2.00 mg
4pm 1.00 mg

I have a pill cutter and with a toothpic to line it up with, I
carefully cut these as small as 1/16, takes time and patience.

Starting June 1st I will take the mightnight dose as 2.50 mg and
stay there for at least 4 months and see if my face shrinks down and
if I loose the 10 pounds I gained recently.
