I wonder if my doctor would read this. She prescribed 10 mg/ 7.5 mg alternate days for one month, then is going straight to 7.5 daily. She won't listen to me.

I think all doctors should read it Sandi but I suspect most won’t.
Karen one of the main reasons I posted it was because of it offers so many points of reference to steroid tapering and adrenal insufficiency

Oh--I see now that you posted the article, Mrsb04. I appreciate very much everything I can read about this. My hematologist might not read it, but my endocrinologist is more open.
