  • Experiences With Tapering Off Prednisone

    Many years ago, I began to taper off prednisone when my MG symptoms improved. I was at 80 mg a day and went down 10 mg every two weeks.

    In my experience, it wasn’t the correct way to taper. I became incredibly weak and ended up in the hospital on IVIG. After I left the hospital, I had to go back up to 80 mg of prednisone again.

    A couple of years after, I was able to taper again, but at a much slower rate. Luckily, it was successful.

    What are your experiences tapering off prednisone? What worked for you? What didn’t work for you?
