Look at me!

8 Replies

Look at me, only 8 weeks in and up from 45 to 80 mg; but now, today, down from 80 mg to 75! Wooooo Hoo! One step forward, two steps back. On a positive note, maybe the 5 mg reduction will be enough to peel me off the ceiling! One can but hope!

I am causiously optimistic!

Sorry, not yet m’dear! Strange view of life from up there isn’t it!

But you know what to reply if someone ever says “I’d like to be a fly on the wall in that house/office/situation” 🙀

Obviously still a very high dose of Pred and anyone who has been on a similar one will understand how it can sometimes feel. But YES take heart you ARE heading in the 'right direction' and all this - like everything - will pass - so stay 'optimistic' !!

Good to hear you've made a step down.

I've never been above 15 so have no idea what it's like.

I'm sure you will be able to get off the ceiling soon ;)

Dear Melissa

Your pictures are smashing. They always enliven posts and I've noticed that there are a lot more posts with pictures to make us smile than there were when I first joined. Unfortunately I can't remember when that was when I get off here I'll look back on my post record and see.

Hope you are enjoying your Sunday and hope your reductions proceed nice and quickly.

Best wishes

Colin
