Absolutely! The more steriods (prednisone) in your body, the better you feel. You may want to ask your Rheumy to boost yours back up to 10 mg until your other medications are adjusted to help more. It's not great to be on prednisone for an extended time, due to the long term side effects. (and my least favorite... the weight gain) But it sure is helpful until you get the correct medications/dosages regulated.
Hope you feel better soon,
