I would say it would be worth a try, but like you, I don't know how useful it would be. When I've started pred (and I've been on/off it several times in the last 14 years) I always started at 10 mg a day for one week, then 20 and on up to the point that the symptoms abated. I've been as high as 60, but now I kind of refuse to go over 20 mg due to side effects.

Anyway, once stable, I immediately go to eod dosing, as that immediately halves side effects. From there I've done various tapers, but find, unfortunately, that I do best on a small (5-10 mg) eod dosing. I do, however, have a history of severe refractory MG. You may have a different experience.

Good luck!
