Guest guest Posted February 16, 2006 Report Share Posted February 16, 2006 I went to the dr's today. (Dx FEB 2005) He said that my blood work looks great. I'm on 10 mg of prednisone and 50 mg of azathioprine. He wants me to slowly go off the the prednisone (been on the prednisone for a yr.) by 2 weeks at 7.5mg, 2 weeks at 5mg, and then 2 weeks at 2.5mg plus he up the azathioprine to 100mg. After the weeks on 5mg I'm to have a blood test and if that looks good. I will have another blood test after the 2 weeks at 2.5. I'm scared about doing this because when they where trying to find out what was wrong with me my levels where in the 1800's and I had joint pains so bad that I couldn't barely walk and use my hands and the pain was unbearable.Plus I had a liver biopsy and have level 3 scaring But once they found out they put my on prednisone at 60mg and I started to feel great and the joint pains started going away. (I have gained about 30 pounds which I dont like I have always been about 135 to 140 pds. Has anyone gone off prednisone and had to go back on it or where you find with being off prednisone.
