Summary
Tapering prednisone down to as low as 2.5mg/day over a month, this poster reports "no CFS symptoms!" at the lowest doses, but relief lasted only about four days after finishing the taper before malaise returned. She says she's "half-tempted" to keep self-dosing but is wary of adrenal suppression.
