I have taken 60mg Prednisone for 2 days for possible Temporal Arteritis. After examination and tests, my Doctor has decided that I no longer require the Prednisone and have advised me to take 20mg for 2 days and then stop.
Does this sound feasible?

			<description><![CDATA[
I was given prednisone by an urgent care Dr. for facial pain after a tooth procedure. I was given a 12 day pack of 10 mg. After about a week I noticed it started making me feel worse and not better. I asked the Dr. if I could stop taking it. I got the ok, but I still feel terrible. My chest feels weird/tight. My spine hurts a little, and of course my original pain is back. I feel like my body has no lubrication in it. Like I can&#039;t produce mucus or anything. My muscles are weak and shaky....

We can&#039;t get an appointment with a pulmonary specialist tor three months. The drops are prescribed for open angle glaucoma.
