Another Prednisone taper question. . .

I started prednisone at 40mg (was on that dose about 6 weeks) and have been tapering by 5mg per week, I take my last one tomorrow. I had a remicade infusion last Wednesday and my remicade has been moved up to every 4-5 weeks now. I woke up Saturday to what feels like a mini-flare, meaning, I'm not hurting in my usual spot LRQ, but more in my middle, like my stomach area. Could it be due to the prednisone taper? Or I guess something I ate? It's really frustrating me because I was finally starting to feel good, now I'm back on pain meds. Any advice? My GI is supposed to call me in just a little while. I was just wondering if anyone else has had these kinds of symptoms from a taper. Thanks for listening :)

Well hello there ChefPatrick :) I'm hoping this will pass, but I do believe it's from the taper off. . . my side has started hurting a bit too. I'll watch it closely though, not let it get to bad before I go back on them. And I was more than happy to be there for you too, hope I can always be an ear and shoulder for you to lean on :)
