Yes - after only a week it is fine to drop straight back to your old dose.
What a great birthday present I don’t think! Get well soon.
Get Well Soon 🍀💐🍀
Reading this with special interest. I’m covid poorly this week. I have increased my pred to 10mg from 5 mg hopefully just for a week. I’m being monitored by the covid team because of my PMR and methotrexate but I’m doing ok. This leaflet is brilliant. I love infographics😂😜 get well soon Raewynne
