I believe it is unlikely you will experience any improvement for some time with prednisone, especially with such a rapidly reducing dose. For me it took about a month to be noticeable and 8 weeks of very gradual improvement at 25mg a day before the dose started to be tapered by 5mg every six weeks. I also take Mestinon (now only as required), and 100mg Imuran which my neuro says will eventually take over from both. Tapering of the pred will be even slower when the dose gets below 10mg. I am interested to see what other more experienced people have to say in response to your post.
