Reducing Prednisone!

[GucciPaddy]

Hi,

Although I have been using Prednisone for over three years now I can’t say if gained any wisdom I can give you other than try hard to reduce the dosage very slowly. I’ve managed to reduce my dosage from 6 mags daily to now 1.5 msg daily and am hoping to phase completely off it! I’m not sure I can but will definitely try.. During the period of reduction I had to increase from time to time but have managed to stay reducing for three months now so the signs are positive.

I can only wish you well in your endeavours.

Rrgards,

Paddy

Great news Paddy. It's good to read your positive news.

I've just returned to 4mg after an unsuccessful attempt to taper to 3.5, but it feels good to be at lower doses with the fatigue and insomnia fading away. My blood pressure is behaving itself too! I'll start trying again in a couple of weeks.

All the best for your next reduction.

Well done Paddy - but did you really mean this as a reply to someone on an existing thread? It sounds like it ...

[GucciPaddy in reply to PMRpro]

I guess I’m not fully versed in replying. I merely replied to the email I got as I believe I am with your good self. Is there another way?

[PMRpro Ambassador in reply to GucciPaddy]

No - the notification should take you to the post and then you use Reply under the post. It seems to happen now and again that that generates a new post. No doubt an HU bug ...
