update from GP

[Suffererc]

so I had a call from GP advising that CRP etc at low level. Asked where I was regarding Pred and I told her 2mg for the last 9 days and am not rushing to taper at present because I have a stiff neck and painful left arm.

Dismissed the stiff next, but told me that I had arthritis in my neck. Al last I know where it is.

She is not rushing me to taper further😂🤣😂🤣😂 just try to get to 1.5 asap 😂🤣😂. No stress there then.

I am staying at 2 for awhile b4 attempting 1.5.

I think I would stay there for a while!

What’s with the pressure at 2mg?!?!?

Have you got any plain 2.5mgs as you can cut these to 1.25mg & make the drop a bit easier…..

Worth it once you’re this low!

[Suffererc in reply to MrsNails]

good idea if I could get GP to prescribe them now 😊

asap is subject to interpretation ... As soon as possible - and when it ISN'T possible???????

Anyone would think that 1. We absolutely love being on this drug 2. It’s so terribly expensive. 3. We don’t really think much about tapering!! So annoying!! I have another doctors appointment to discuss my blood results tomorrow. I expect to be told a similar thing- I’m not getting off these steroids quick enough etc etc. 😬
