It is so nice to hear of a doctor that does not keep saying reduce, reduce, faster, faster!

He is a very good listener and I bring him research, books etc we discuss in depth he would like me to reduce quicker but understands the setback and agrees for me to do slowly. I travel over 1 hour to see him he is worth all the time. Too many doctors just dismiss you and will not engage I try to avoid those types.

You are wise to take it slow in reducing the Pred. I came off much to soon and had a flare which caused so much anxiety and disability. Saw GP today and now back on the Pred, just 5mg but I had got down to 1mg and was going along nicely on that. Wish I had stayed with the 1mg.

Not what you're looking for?
