It is difficult for these patients to stop glucocorticoid treatment, and they are usually bothered with recurrent pain and the side effects of glucocorticoids for more than several months. We describe three cases who were diagnosed with recurrent subacute thyroiditis after a reduction in prednisolone (PSL) dose,...
