feeling so much better...

[Anne-NRAS]

Happy Friday everyone..its been a while but my life has been even more chaotic and messy than usual. I now have some space and wanted to share that I am finally stable at 10mg of pred and feeling good.

I tried to come down but decided to stay at 12.5 for 3 months and this seems to have worked. I came straight down to to 10 about 2 weeks ago and so far so good.. the only difference is I've been on HRT for 3 months (lowest dose possible I might add).

I can't recall who it was, maybe Heron? but I was sent an article about the benefits of staying on a higher mg for say 1-3 months before trying to come down rather than trying to come down every month... and its worked. I really thought I was going to be stuck at over 12mg for another year.

Weights not too bad, wine and fags keeping everything in check! but memory is a little shot.

I'm going to stay at 10mg until June when I see my rheumatologist again.

Have a lovely weekend everyone x

Good, please to hear you're coming along okay. Not to worry about the memory - gets us all!

Good idea to stick at 10mg until you see Rheumy - he may not approve - but so what! It's good for you, and that's what matters.
