Default Prednisone Taper

Today I begin the prednisone taper. I will be dropping from 80mg every other day to 70mg. The plan is to drop it once again in mid January to 60mg.

What should I be looking out for as I begin taking less? I am still taking both mestinon and mycophenolate.

I am doing well. After 7 weeks of double vision my vision is now clear 100% of the time. My chewing is no longer effected and my legs are 80% back. My hands are still lagging behind my neuro called them moderately weak and I have some tremors in the hands as well still. I also still fatigue realtively quickly. He was amazed how far I have come since the first plasmapheresis treatment October 1st. He believes I will continue to see progress but cautioned me it could be a year before I felt normal.
