HI Meg,

I have been the same also a few weeks back and if you need them you need them.

They might need you to reduce them gradually and not just stop them as after 3 weeks should reduce them.

They didnt for me so you might get a way with it as had a few days in between.

Hope you feel a little better soon.

lots of love and a hug love Glynis xxxxxx

I can sometimes get away with five days worth, but other times need up to a months worth (with high doses for a week and then a lot of tapering). Some of my doctors seem to think this is just fine and the kind of asthma I got, while others seem surprised. I think Glynis is right...if it's what you need it's what you need.

Not what you're looking for?
