Just a little update

Hi all, thought I might write a good update rather than always coming on looking for advice 🤗

I started tapering from 10mg to 9mg (second try) last weekend. Took week off work and I am using the tortoise not hare plan. On day 10 today and I can honestly say I feel great!!

I even painted my sitting room😁although it took 7 days of one day paint, next day rest. It worked!!

I would have painted a room like this before one in 2 days. Always loved changing colours and have been dying to do this since before I was diagnosed in July.

Anyway, feeling delighted with progress this morning and here’s to staying at 9mg 🤗

Thank you all again x🙏

That is a nice uplifting update. Perfect illustration of pacing. So much better than being curled up in a miserable ball. I bet you chose a happy colour.

Do you fancy a couple of weeks in Italy? My flat needs painted - not that it will get new colours, white is standard here :-)

Not at my best at stupid o'clock. But OH takes over an hour to get going so at least there will be time for a cup of tea. Just the left-overs in the fridge for tea, enough milk measured out for tomorrow am, rest used this pm. Will just be wine later...
