Doctor conference: Your doctors need to confer about the Prednisolone and Methylprednisolone so that they each realize what's being given to you. Being the patient, you can inform them also. If they talk, they may be able to mutually agree on your regimen and simplify it.

Limit Steroids: The Lyrica (pregabalin) is safe to add but you should not take Prednisolone and methylprednislone at the same time as both medication work in the same way.
