Well i gave in and went to the drs this morning. Having problem with my chest and my joints. He has put my steroids up from 1mg every other day to 30mgs a day.Then when i have had my holiday i am to reduce them all over again. I so didn't want to do this,but i so want to feel well and to be able to walk which at the moment i can't walk far.

So here is one lady resting more than before. Have a lovely evening every one of you all.xxx

Hi sylvi, The thing about your high level steriods is that you are on it for a short period so you should be able to drop them quicker than normal, I did this after a two week holiday and within two weeks back I was back to normal. please check with your GP. I increased from 10mgs to 40mgs and within being back I was back to10mgs. Matt

[sylvi in reply to mattcass]

They were his words Matt,so i will drop them by 10mgs a week until i get to 10mgs and then i will drop them back to five and see what happens. I can see me staying on them for life as they do work.xxxx

Hi syvli I've been told I will be on them for life along with Hydroxy if it works for my RA. Have a nice break with preferably with little pain. Matt/Fran

Hi Sylvie, Glad to know you have gotten some progressive action. I do know you will feel so much better, even if it has to be for just a few weeks. Now, enjoy your holiday, but please, don't do everything you feel like doing!! Love you, Loretxx

[sylvi in reply to lorann]
