I've had one known flair up when I had my medication reduced and I think I'm in the middle of another one but I would go and get your counts checked ASAP.  One thing I noticed and am experiencing now is it hurts when I move my fingers or wrists like how it used to before I got diagnosed.  You want to get this taken care of quickly so it doesn't cause any liver damage.

Hi Christine,
When is the last time you had blood drawn? If you think you are not having a good reaction to the cut in meds you should phone your doctor.  Mine cut me back to 2.5 mg of prednisone last month but scheduled me for more blood work tomorrow to make sure that the cutback wasn't hurting me.  Thus far I don't think it has.  Keep us posted.
