Nicky,
My Dr. had drop from 60 to 50 for 2 weeks then I dropped to 40. He wants me to stay there until I see him in April but I'm like you and plan to try going down on my own. If things stay ok at 40 I will drop down to 30 March 1.

Oh my gosh I know what you mean about the scales saying one thing but looking at yourself and wondering what has happened!!! My face is starting to fill out and my arms and stomach. According to the scales I have gained about 9 pounds but it feels like 25. I HATE it!!! YES pred sucks. I went to my chiropractor today and he gave me a good talking to about how dangerous this medicine is. He swears it is poison. I feel so much better after getting an adjustment today but am now more scared than ever about the damage this med is doing. He suggested going on a gluten free/dairy free diet at least for a few months to give my body some time to kind of work on healing itself. As bad as I want totally off the pred I don't want to take cell cept or Imuran either because they have serious risks also. I don't know what I'm going to do if my symptoms come back like they were before. I am going to get serious about changing the way I eat and exercising regularly. I take several vitamin supplements too. I figure anything is worth a try if it will help me feel better. How are your symptoms from tapering? Are you staying pretty level?
