Subject: Prednisone Withdrawal, Need Advice (kind of long)

Hi I am a 24yr old female that was dignosed with Lupus SLE about 5yrs ago. Last April I had my first bad flare up, which included me being in the hospital for a week due to Pleuritis and Pericarditis, after that i have been sick off and on and was put on Prednisone 250mg and have been on different doses since. My dr recently but me on Cellcept 2000mg to help wean me off the prednisone. After months of tapering down I am now down to my lowest dose, i am now taking 10mg of prednisone. However, after 7 days of being on 10mg, i am experiencing,chest pain, loss of appetite, swelling of my joints, stiffness, nausea.. just over all pain. has anyone else suffered from these symptoms while tapering?? I really want to try hard to get off of prednisone, but im not sure how to get through these sypmtoms =( they are almost as bad as my lupus flares =( does anyone have any suggestions???? Greatly appreciate any advice
