I seem to have hit a wall. I read about Alternate Day Therapy as a way of getting off prednisone and starting the adrenal gland at the same time. I await you answer. You have a very good handle on your situation and your questions are good ones, ask your primary physician for a referral to an endocrinologist at a major medical center, if not one that at least has experience with adrenal gland-steroid measurements and prednisone tapering. I hope this information is useful.
