My Rheumatologist prescribed 15 mg Prednisone taken in the morning, but it isn't enough to help the symptoms. I also think taking an extra 5mg in the evening helps alleviate morning stiffness, which is when I have the worst pain. Please share your experiences. Thanks!

Thanks! You guys know more than the Rheumatologists! I've ordered all of the literature. Didn't know this would be a frequent companion in my life.

THANK YOU ALL!!! I found that dividing the dose - 10 mg in morning, and taking 5mg in the evening did the trick! I awoke not stiff, feeling great again! If it weren't for you, I would not have known to do this.

I'm so pleased you have found relief.
i did this to allow extra relief when I do night shifts, and have never returned to the once a day dose as yet in the last 2 months. It also gave me less morning side effects than taking it all at once in the morning.
take care.
