Steroids

I have been on prednisone for at least l7 years for my rheumatoid arthritis.  Recently started on Humira for the past 5 months....because I have developed nodule scleritis, they are going to wean me off of prednisone, supposedly one of the side affects of long term sterioid use?  What can I expect?  I am down to 5 mg...which I will be on for two months then I see my RA dr....will I ever get off of prednisone, would like to as I have some weight gain and do have a moon face...  what can I expect???

Allison - I don't know about prednisone - and other treatments for you - you posted this on a Hepatitis forum - so it may be a bit difficult to get an answer ---- although - there are a few folks with RA here --- so they may be able to help out a little.
