On holiday, added 5mg this morning

[Mazxstitch]

On the 30th November started tapering from 2.25 to 2mg. 5 weeks later completed taper successfully and decided to remain on 2mg until after I had come home from Tenerife. Flew to Tenerife on the 28th January 2mg still OK but by today, 7th February , lots of stiffness. Upper arms, lower back and so on , HO having to help me get dressed, stand up from seated position.

We fly home this Saturday. Took an extra 5mg this morning. Should I take an extra 5mg until I am home? Then drop back to 2mg?

Probably would be sensible ….. but maybe to 2.25mg on return rather than 2mg just to be on the safe side.

Hope the extra will enable you to enjoy rest of holiday.
