Let the pred wean begin!

Finally have the go ahead to try and get my maintenance pred dose down to 25mg 😁 which I’ve only managed for about 2/3 days total since I got stuck on them in February 😂

But I’ve already managed to drop from 60 to 35 without any issues yet - my consultant said I might as well have a go as if only been on 60 a week so I figured why not!

Going to try and keep a weekly update going on my blog to keep track of it all! Feel free to follow for my random rambles 😅

Woohoo! Go Pred Go! (No I’m mean literally go - go away 😂)

I’m finally down to my maintenance of 10mg - felt fine for a few days however the weathers just changed and I’ve tightened up again... hopefully it’s just a blip as I adjust (I really do t want them to go up again!!!)

Good luck and hope it goes well for you! 🤞🏻🍀

Thanks! Fingers crossed if all goes smoothly I could be at 25 by my next injection! 😱

Hope yours is just a blip - the weather is not asthma friendly at the moment!
