So I began my prednisolone (got the spelling right this time) course. For the record this is self help, so if there're any docs out there, give me some advice. I'm basing this on my own experience of taking pred for several years.
Started today on 20mg twice a day for two days; wean off to 15mg twice a day for two days, 10mg twice a day for two days and 5mg twice a day for one day; and then one a day for two days.
