Well I've been tapering the Prednisone now for a bit, from 40mg to 25mg. I am on 6MP as well because I'm apparently steroid dependent. Which brings me to my question!
Anyone else getting violent shakes after a certain amount of tapering? This week, once I'd been down to 25mg for a few doses, I started getting the shakes to the point of not being able to bring a fork to my mouth - for about thirty minutes until I take my evening dose of Pred. Then, it goes away.
I know the body is sensitive to steroids and can react as such when the taper gets to a point - but the shakes seem a little extreme to me. Maybe not? Let me know.
(Also, do you think that the 6MP could be the culprit, more likely?)
