Unbelievable improvement with Prednisolone!

So what a difference 2 weeks can make to life ! Started on Pred 2 weeks ago 15 mg , and transformed from my life of the last 6 months . Had a magical week I didn’t think could happen . Was able to travel to Fontainebleau for my sons 2 year Covid delayed MBA graduation then at the end of the week to Newcastle for my daughter s MSc graduation. Blessed. Thank God for prednisolone! I upped to 20 mg after the first week and improved more . Also split the dose between before bed ( 10pm) and 4am .

After the initial euphoria I will settle into the management now using all the advice I’ve gleaned from you lovely people !

I will do a separate post regarding my rheumatologist appointment a few days ago 🙂

Terrific - but don't make that intensity of activity too frequent!
