Prednisone

Prednisone

I was diagnosed with AIH in April 2001.  My main symptoms were joint aches & pains and jaundice.  I was put on Prednisone and Imuran, and my dr plans on leaving me on both for life (a long time, since I was 21 when diagnosed).  Is anyone else still on prednisone?  It seems from reading posts that most people are taken off prednisone completely.  I'm on 5mg.  I am not as tired as I was before starting the medication, and I have very few joint aches & pains and no other signs of the illness.  I also have no bothersome side effects from the medicine.  I'm afraid if I did go off prednisone, I would not feel as good as I feel now.  Any comments?  Thanks from WI
