That’s good news. 8.5 to 8 mg seems to be my nemesis. I’ve had 4 failed attempts so far.

[vangelis8 in reply to Tiggy70]

Thanks tiggy70,sorry to hear you are struggling to get to 8mg,I'm sure you will do it,I have had to learn to be patient with this pmr,it's in charge not us or doctors.all the best to you.

[Tiggy70 in reply to vangelis8]

Great 👏🏼 I’m just starting 12.5mg -> 12mg again 🤦🏻 Wish Me Luck 🍀

[vangelis8]

Good luck Mrs nails,fingers crossed🤞all the best to you.🙂

Good luck with the reduction. I've got down to 6mg but have been getting stiff neck and hips again. I've been pushing myself somewhat as I'm fed up with thinking I'm being a wimp but maybe I need to ease up. I couldn't sit cross legged in the Yoga class this morning but felt easier afterwards. I might try returning to 7mg for a few days and see what happens 🤔

[vangelis8 in reply to Smithie49]

Thanks smithie49,I'm sure someone else with more experience will advice you soon, take care.

Well done. It's so difficult being patient, isn't it!

[vangelis8 in reply to Hildalew]

Thanks hildalew, yes it is hard, I will have to be patient a lot longer.
