Thanks all for the suggestion to go from 1mg to zero of prednisone. Worked like a charm.
Previously, my GI assured me going from 2.5 to zero wouldn't be hard, that all of his patients except one in the last 10 or so years could do it. I initially followed my GIs wish on it and man did I have withdrawal and blood and such returning, and an accident to boot. Next I see him I'm going to ask he revise his statement to be
two patients in his 10 years...
Several of you here suggested I go back to 1mg for several weeks, then go back to zero.
