Feeling terribly low. Is it normal.

Hi everyone. I have managed successfully to get to 7mg on the dead slow method. I have decided to stay on 7 for a month and then will go to 6 1/2.

My problem is that I feel terribly low and can't stop crying. Is this normal when you get onto the lower doses. I have just been diagnosed with two Compression Fractures as well. I had X-rays and a MRI which I had to pay for myself as my Dr. Is useless. He failed to diagnose the Fractures and palmed me off with Painkillers. The MRI showed underlying Osteoporosis and I am having a Dexa Scan on Friday to confirm.

I don't know whether it is this, or the lower dose of Steroids that is making me feel so miserable.

Your opinions would be very welcome, thank you.
