Oh, I've said this so many times - I'm not sure if I'm asking the devil or God. I tend to believe in either more during an attack than in church. W.C. Fields was found reading the Bible on his deathbed. When asked if he'd found religion, he said "No, just looking for loopholes."

I haven't given advice here, just received it... so take this answer with a grain of salt! My neurologist recently ordered prednisone for me and the instructions on the scrip bottle were to take 5 for 5 days, 4 for 5 days, 3 for 5 days, 2 for 5 days, 1 for 5 days, and finally .5 for the remainder. I think that is the taper. Learning here requires learning a new language, much of it cryptic. Warning: for me, prednisone has bad side-effects like mood swings and generally being a pain in the ass to those around you.
