I’ve been on prednisone for about 8 weeks so far (started on 40, then tapered to 30, 20 and now on 10) for optic neuropathy. It was making me crazy at first and I felt like shit.. and of course as soon as I started to feel really good, we started tapering 🥲 all for the best though, I know. And I’m lucky that the inflammation was starting to come down with such a low dose.

Still waiting for vision to improve (it’s been 12 weeks).. but I’m starting to accept that there’s some level of permanence. I’m also afraid of it rebounding/happening again once I’m fully off the prednisone.
