You take 270 mg prednisone a day...for years?

And a little update, I didn't notice any ill effects.

Hi jvaagen,
I 'm as astonished as Ravenclaw, 270 mg per day...?
Just 2 other remarks:
-I always considered that cortisone should be taken once a day mornings...
- the normal maximum daily dosage is 1 mg/kg of weight...
Maurice.
