My cousin has been trying to tapper off predisone since Jan when she was diagnosed with severe CD in the illium. Over the last few months , every time she got down to 10mg, the pain would return in the illium area and she had to go up to 15mg again and start over again. She just tappered down to 10mg last saturday and last night the pain returned, but this time it was a real bad stabbing type pain in her lower back and in her upper thighs, and not so much in the illium like it was before. She also feels very weak and slight bit nausiated. Could this be predisone withdrawl pain, and if so, how long does it last when you tapper to a lower dosage? Pain is the only symptom, her BMs are 100% normal. She is also on 1000mg pentassa 3xday and following the SCD diet 100%.
