60 to 50? Now 60

Sadly, GCA symptoms got too close for comfort.

Feeling much better this morning and I think I’ll go clean out that closet! Pluses and minuses, right?

Yep, pluses and minuses - but make sure it’s only ONE closet!

And as I said in earlier post - down to 55mg next time - but only when you feel okay.

No point in rushing as you have found out - going down too quickly inevitably means having to go back up!

That’s not the game you want to play!

Good luck. 🌷

Don't be too enthusiastic and I hope it is a SMALL closet!!! Remember that even if you feel much better you still have a serious systemic illness going on behind the curtain of pred. But glad you are feeling better.
