Argh forgot to take my steroids this am - am on 3 mg EC

Have just taken 2 mg at 4:30 pm is that the right thing to do??

I don’t feel any different!!

I normally take the full dose. We all do it. Much better to take twice the amount by mistake!!

That'll be fine this late in the day. If you are really lucky that is a sign the PMR is considering wending its way ...

Hello,I agree with PMR and Piglette. This happened to me and I was none the worse for it. Like you I consulted Health Unlocked. I took two lots of steroids, adding up to the original dose, the latter at my normal time. After this I took it every day as normal. The fact that you seem to be OK on 2mgs could be a sign that you can decrease to 2mgs without any problems, (see PMRPro) and it's worth continuing. If you don't feel well after a few days you can always return to your original dose. It's an ill wind 😀

I'm currently on 5mg, down from an initial 25 in April 21 but when on 5.5 I missed a whole day of Pred due to "urgent" child minding 130 miles away and I forgot to take the Pred with me. I didn't suffer any adverse affects so I'm thinking that, perhaps, PMR has tired of beating me up and making my life a misery and has gone back from whence it came. However, I'm not brave (or stupid?- steady with the comments please) enough to put the theory to the test by stopping and will continue to taper very slowly. I'm sure you will be absolutely fine missing your dose.

It happens ... I missed my a dose for the first time since I started taking Prednisone in August. I am currently on 7.5 mg and just totally missed a dose - didn't realize until the next morning. So took my regular dose and fortunately, have no ill affects. Like others, hoping PMR is fading a bit ...
