Hi Ida, I'm glad to hear that you are tapering your Prednisone with success! That's great news! There is light at the end of the tunnel for you. I'm still on 15mg of Prednisone. I tried tapering it just a little bit, and my symptoms worsened and never reached a plateau, and I gave it almost 3 weeks, but I just kept getting worse with pain, fatigue and swelling. I thought it best to wait until the Enbrel kicks in, as my doctor has told me it should pretty soon. I had an appointment with my rheumy last week, and he noticed that my fingers are improved already with the Enbrel, and that was only my second week on it. I'm hopeful that Enbrel will be the ticket for me. When do you see your doctor again? Let me know how you are doing. Best wishes and hugs to you! Shar
