why taper off steroids?
Question:
Answers:
Not necessarily. We usually have people taper off for a couple of reasons.
1. Just in case the disease process comes back we can go gradually back up to stablize the patient.
2. Like anything else your body goes in to withdrawal. It has a hard enough time healing itself if on long term high dose steroid use if there is an injury.
3. Tapering helps to bring the whole body back to homeostasis without as many side effects.
