I was originally on prednisone 20mg/ of day for the first month after starting with prednisone and starting with 20 mg Methotrexate once per week. After the first month tapered to 10 mg per day for the 2nd month then 5 mg for the 3rd month. Then I completely stopped prednisone after my immune modulating (steroid sparing) Methotrexate kicked in fully around 90-120 days.
Side note though I was only on prednisone for 3 months I’ve since developed a cataract in my left eye since 2019.
In my estimation I would suggest that you ask your Neurologist for an appropriate immune modulating or immunosuppressant to replace the IVIG to see if you can eliminate the steroids altogether.
