GCA and forgot meds

The day before yesterday I forgot my afternoon dose. I normally take 7 mg in the morning and 9 mg about 3pm. I normally get a reaction every time I reduce by 1 mg - feel really ill, usually the next day. I am amazed that so far I do not seem any worse. Do you think I have got away with it? Concerned as I have a journey to Norwich for a 25th Wedding anniversary party tomorrow. Was due another reduction tomorrow to 15 mg but think I will leave it until Sunday. What do you think?

I'd definitely wait until after the party to reduce! And it does sound as if you have got away with forgetting the dose - but don't shout it from the rooftops!!!

Have a lovely weekend!

Glad you got away with it, but definetly don't reduce until your home after the party & take some extra with you.

Enjoy 💐
