I am not a medical professional but have taken Prednisone for 15 years and have done much research on the subject. I have read that less than 3 mg of Prednisone daily is probably clinically insignificant, so at a dose of 1 mg your husband may have no help at all from the medication. If the intent of reducing his dosage was to discontinue Prednisone, that has likely been achieved but if finding the lowest dose that still helps him is the intent, it sounds like a higher dose is needed. I believe common maintainance doses of Prednisone are in the 5-15 mg per day range. Please contact his doctor soon, your husband's symptoms certainly sound significant for anyone with lung disease. Wishing you the best of luck.
