So...managed 3 weeks in South Africa with only one teeny little increase in the pred..to cover the long journey there and the tiredness!! Such a memorable holiday. Now back on 8.5mg so will return to my very slow weaning process. First cataract op booked for Friday. Feeling very positive. Must be the holiday. I hope you are all managing well, I missed my little visits to the forum. xx

So glad that your holiday went well and you've returned feeling positive. That shows careful management, well done!

Good luck with your operation on Friday. I hope you feel serene throughout ( diazepam?) and like most folk, feel very pleased that you did it.

I'm hoping for serenity Jane!!! :-) No idea what they'll give me...if they give me Diazepam I'll be out for a week!!! :-)

I had 2 mgs Diazepam for an enclosed MRI Scan. I think they thought I had died, I was so still and calm. They kept saying " are you alright Jane?" I really was alright, with no sensation of being drugged.
