When I am up above 30 mg of Prednisone daily for long term, in the past, I blow up in the cheeks, & neck area. I feel like the Blueberry girl on Willie Wonka ! I told the Doctor that once, got him laughing.
I go between 10 - 20 mg now, I try to keep it to 10, but when things act up, I go up to 20 for a few weeks, & ween down to 10 when I can.
Erin 60 mg, for a year, wow, I have done the 60 mg for a few months before, but have weened down 40 than 30 stayed there for awhile. than managed to get down to 20, it was a struggle though, things kept acting up.
You look great for being on 60 mg of Pred. , long term, how is your blood pressure, & cholsterol ?
Hope you can get down on that !
Mary
