Hi,
Saw my GI today and although I am still without a diagnosis he is going to try me on pred. He's giving me 20mg for 7 days then tapering it by 5mg each week so I will be on it for a month.
From reading many posts I know that many of you start on a much higher dose so was wondering if I should expect to see improvment on a low dose? The doc said that I'm unlikely to get side effects as it's not a high enough does.
How long does it take to see improvments?
Any other advice greatly received!
Cheers
Sam
