I was put on pred for a 10 day stint because of intestinal issues. Felt great. Most of my pd symptoms faded into the background. Then I was told to discontinue the prednisone without tapering. Pow! I felt awful and like my pd had progressed by 5 years. Gradually after a couple of weeks, I returned to where I'd been before the incident. Wished I could have stayed on it longer, but not at the price I had to pay. If you are tapering off, it shouldn't be a problem.
