Hi,
Prednisolone has to tapered after one month slowly irrespective of the platelet count under the guidance of a hematologist, who may however keep you on a low maintainance dose if you turn out to steroid dependent. Regarding the shivers, please see a doctor and check your BP, rule out infection before attributing it to steroid side effects.
