Enjoy the boost. In terms of dose 12mg is not high if you think people have 100mg. In terms of your progress and adrenals, one day isn’t going to do much and your adrenals will still be asleep anyway. We’ve all done it.

If you have, enjoy a good day. And yes, back to normal tomorrow.

And treat yourself to a dosette box - if you only takedo it for pred fill it at the same time once a week in a quiet place to be sure you get it right and then you can see if you have taken today's dose!

Great advice , especially a pill box .

No need to be a healthworrier on this little blip.

Much better than missing a dose, that is really painful. Just carry on as normal tomorrow.

Not a problem as a one off, get yourself organised with a pill box for future. You'll have a good day so enjoy!
