WARNING!!!! I am tapering down to 5mg of Prednisone tomorrow. Possible side effects include extreme grumpiness, fatigue, and forgetfulness.
I am excited to be weaning off of Prednisone, unfortunately it will still be two more months before I can stop (30 days at 5 mg and then 30 days at 2.5 mg). Possible problems of weaning off of Prednisone are increased pain caused by inflammation. Currently my bone and back pain (caused by ECD inflammation) are holding at tolerable levels. Please pray that they do not increase as I taper the Prednisone because I really want to get off this medicine (makes me feel nuts). Another possible side effect of weaning is that my body could fail restart its own hormone production. Only time will tell.
Another issue of unknown origin and cause is that I have been experiencing more instances of my left leg giving way as I walk. It happened 9 times today, the most ever. Luckily I haven't fallen yet but I got close today! Oh well...not like I've never fallen before. In fact I've been practicing since I was a kid.
Feeling very fatigued today, let's hope a good nights sleep does the trick.
