Just a little. Pred I'm meaning. πŸ€”

Pred I talking about πŸ˜‚

No seriously I'm suppose to do that further

Drop to 5-10. Alternative days to me that seams a big drop to me. From 10 -15 Alternative days. That's like from 12,5 - 7.5 it's a bloody big percent phew!!! Worrisome 😳

πŸ˜– Weel see.

Rose54 says it all ,do not drop over the weekend, after is another day. Do not even think about it even when taking the Pred. Enjoy yourself. When you come back that is another thing.From that knowledge which I have gained from those that know and those who know from their experience -Bless them all ,but if I was at your level of 5mg I would be jealousy guarding it. Blow the Doctor and the Consultant, kindly of course and follow the DSNS programme ,even dropping 1/2 mg rather than 1mg , if it rears its little head. Enjoy yourself, but no Zip wiring or Scuba diving.( obviously work with the Doc & Cons.-use you women's guile!) Best wishes ,Scubadiver

Your all Wright blow the docs it's me who would suffer.

No I am on a crazy 15 10 15 10. And so on for two weeks. Then 10 5 10 5 for the next two weeks. I'm now on second week. So now when I tacke 10 weakening up before 5 feeling dreadful. Also lasting longer. I've no chance of managing 5 10 5 10. I am going to face up to him next week.

My problem is by time I go to doctors I will probably feel fine 😲 And to cap it all I don't get markers in my blood 😳😲

😬😬😬

Don't do that drop even if you aren't going away. Dropping to 5 is 50% of your dose. Even if you coped with 10/15 I think this next drop is almost certainly going to cause you problems. You've been on pred for a while, haven't you? Your body will be relying on it, and at 5 mg you'll be getting less than your body would make normally, and it needs to learn how to do that again which takes time.

That seems like a crazy plan! Usually the recommendation is 1mg per month until you get to 5mg and then by .5. Alternating such large amounts is bound to confuse your body. Hang tight and enjoy your weekend away!

This is what my doctor recommended too. I didn't take her advice as it seemed ridiculous. I thought doesn't she realise there are 2.5 mg tabs available. I dropped to 12.5 from15 and all was good

Out of interest - what are your GP and rheumy going to do when you are totally disabled with the symptoms?

Good question. I'm going to have words next week I've no intention of crippling my self for his egos. Everyone I speak to thinks it's crazy. 😀

I am going to tell him there is only one person who knows how my body is reacting.And that is me 😀

Thanks 🌹
