Update 're increasing pred on a flare

I thought already posted, not computer savvy, poor eyesight doesn't help!

But to let you know my rheumatologist said I did the sensible thing with upping the pred, and the fact it resolved so quickly was probably a flare.

Now on a reducing dose to get me back to 10mg as quickly as possible, on 30mg now.

She was so helpful and reassuring.

Really made me feel supported, as do the rheum nurses, who said contact us if you have any worries.

Sorry if I've already put this up but not been picked up yet.

As I say NOT computer savvy, rather dig the garden!

It’s much better when you can confidently take the steering wheel. Happy digging - plenty of lemonade breaks!!
