Hi Maurice,

I have been on Prednisone for 11 days at the 1.8mg/kg/day level. My next appointment with my neurologist it in 7 days. My symptoms are greatly reduced. My question is, should I fax him and begin the movement towards the maintenance level tomorrow, or should I keep the current schedule and talk to him in 7 days? In other words, how much difference will 7 days make?
