Subject: Steroid Reduction & Headaches etc...

Hope everyone is doing ok.

I have been weaning off prednisolone for a long time (months and months) from 25mg (3 week course), then second course from 20mg 3wks. At the moment have just reduced from 4mg to 3 after been on 4-4-3-4-4-3-4-4-3 (yeah pretty weird but just can not wean off any quicker).

I have had numerous withdrawals symptoms but the most recent ones have been persistent headaches from the moment I wake up, they do ease after taking pain killers but this headache is very much with me, more so after coming down with nasal congestion/hay fever which is better now. ALSO yesterday came down with a cold sore on my lip.

My question is: Are these also prednisolone withdrawals? Do I continue reducing and am I doing this reduction (weird I know) ok? Just that 1mg still a lot for me to reduce so I just have to reduce that 1mg slowly - how much slower? I am sitting here in bed at just after 8am with a bad headache, any tips highly appreciated.

Lots of love & Blessings to you all,
Kla
