Simply making a suggestion. I think you might have more clout than I.

I’ve done a screen shot and saved it to my photos. Hope it works. Slow but sure.

Thank you so much. X

I hope you got the answer Sue. In my case after the initial 15mg and reduction to 12.5 after the first month I have reduced by 1mg/month and I am now at what I hope is the final 1mg on my 2year journey.

On another matter I would love to know how you are now with the tooth extraction recently.

Good luck. D

Hi dot. Well done with your taper. Still got a dry socket. Doesn't hurt though. Think infection has cleared up. Seeing my dentist on Thursday. X
