Tapering Prednisolone

Hello everyone,
Besides the itch, Thursday 4/12 appointment went well.
My liver counts are behaving, so the doctor decided to taper prednisolone from 10mg down to 7.5mg, a small taper but I am anticipating some withdrawal symptoms as my body gets used to the lack of 2.5mgs per day.

Blood counts:
WBC 8.4 (H) Dr says high due to steroid intake. (3.2-7.9)
RBC 4.14
Hgb 13.6
Htc 41.7
Platelets 177

Will be flying back to the US again some time next week. Will order VEGAN !

This should be in the insurance part: did you know that my travel insurance does not sell to those taking the drug prednisolone? It says so in the fine print.

Meri
