Tapering off steroids

I am moving around well and not showing any hot inflamed joints. Drs. Lawson and Milojevic are pleased with my progress, and are recommending that I start tapering off the prednisolone steroids, 0.5 ml every 10 days. When I am only taking 3 ml in the morning, we'll have another appointment to reassess. Woo hoo! I’ve been so chubby recently, I can stand to lose all the water that I’ve been retaining due to the steroids!
