what the heck is going on for real. started flaring again

Ok so since he put me on the 40 prednisone for a week i been doing great, it even help my moods, im really calm on this suckers at that high of a dose.. but 2 days ago we tried to go down to 35 mg and today all hell is breaking lose on my body.. whats going on, on the left side i feel bloated and pain about a level 5 nothing to make me have to go to the hospital..

im really thinking that something is wrong with me or my body just doesnt want to give up prednisone or something.. i wanted to see if i stay at 35mg is the flare will go away but i dont want to chance it and get worst than what i am now.. im calling my doc and see if to go back to 40mg and hold it there till i see him on the 22nd.. dang just found out doctor wont be in till monday sigh sucks
 
Wow, that's rough to have the steroids give up the ghost just going from 40 to 35!! Have you been on a lot in the past? Are you steroid dependent? Maybe you need to taper by 2.5 or 2 mg???

Sorry you are going thru this. It's a horrible feeling to be reliant on the pred.

Hang in there and let us know what the docs says next week.

Lmao sorry but you made me laugh with the give up the ghost comment.. I use to use it a longggggg time ago for my asthma but it was low doses and was only on it for 3 days for the most.. I think in all I was on it maybe 2 months over a period of 2 years.. And haven't Been on it since 13 years ago.. I don't think I'm dependant on it but it's frustration not knowing why it's flaring.. I was put on steroids this month because the pentasa wasn't working by it self, I guess maybe it's to early to start tapering off.. Guess we will see tuesday..
